Overview
This update resolves the "Opening Group Policy Files for Exclusive Read Access Blocks Policy Application" issue affecting Windows 2000 domain controllers, and is discussed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-016. Download now to prevent an attacker from blocking the application of Group Policy within a Windows 2000 domain.
