If you are having problems with the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) you can enable logging for this console by configuring two registry keys as follows:
Key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Diagnostics
Value Name: GPMgmtTraceLevel
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 2
Key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Diagnostics
Value Name: GPMgmtLogFileOnly
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 1
The log file that is generated by this will be found in the %temp% directory.
