    I am sure you have a second PC where you can start regedit. If you have network connection to the other just make the changes remotely by making a remote connection via regedit (located in the "file" menu).
    Other merhods to reset the necessary registry keys mentioned in the linked article:
    - use the command reg.exe /add
    - make a small vbscript
    (those can be performed directly on the affected PC)

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I've disabled regedit and gpedit in my Domain Controller. So i can't access the same from anyother machine in the domain. Could you please help me to resolve this in the Domain controller.

    Senthil

    If you really have disabled regedit on all machines use the other method I mentioned: reg.exe
    This is an OS integrated  commandline tool to modify registry. Hopefully you have not disabled this one ;-)

    Run "reg add /?" to see how it works.
    Then follow the link
    http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/73793/jsi-tip-2472-administrator-cant-edit-group-policy-in-a-windows-2000-domain.html
    and add the appropriate registry value.
    Then you should be able to start GPedit again...
