When editing an existing Group Policy, I get an error: 'Error (0x80070005) occured saving settings file. When creating a new Group Policy, I get an error 'Access is denied'. I have done intensive research, but I have not found anything helpful. It seems to me that the problem might be the ability to write to the directories or files containing the GPO's. This extra DC have been removed afterwards. I have configured an extra DC, just to check if it was possible to edit GPO's on a another server, but it was the same problem. However, this 2016 server have developed this strange problem when creating or editing Group Policies, access is denied.
The AD is orginating from a Windows 2012 Essentials server, the current 2016 server have been configured as a DC for the same domain and all FSMO roles have been transferred and finally the old Windows 2012 Essentials server have been decomissioned and recycled. Hi - I'm having a strange problem creating or editing Group Policies on a standalone Windows 2016 server configured as DC for a single domain.
