On a windows 2000 system recently updated to sp4, I have been getting 2
regular security-rleated events in the event/application log

1) one a warning SecCli event 1202--Security policies are propagated with
warning. 0xd : The data is invalid. Please look for more details in
TroubleShooting section in Security Help.

2) an error: Usrenv event 1000 The Group Policy client-side extension
Security was passed flags (17) and returned a failure status code of (13).

None of the knowlege base articles on these errors seem to apply to my
situation.

Winnt\security\log\winlogon.log reports "Reading Configuration template
info...Error 13: The data is invalid. secreateglobalprivilege is not a valid
privilege."

In the management console, windows is unable to read the basic security
template.

I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me if these errors are causing any
practical problems--especially my inabilty to start rasman (unable to create
buffers) or cannot connect with mysql (connection lost). And, if so, what's
the fix?

I'm not a newbie, but neither am I an expert in this area.

Thanks
