    Hi,

    I have Windows 2003 server R2 64 bit in my PC. Some weeks ago my PC effected with virus, now when i use to open group policy from Start --> Run--> and type gpmc.msc to open Group policy Management console, it fails to open and the error message displays: "Windows cannot find 'gpmc.msc'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search".

    Kay5ive,

    You can try to run mmc and add gpmc.msc as a snapin. Once GPMC is visible to you then you can save it somewhere on your desktop for further use.

    Reinstallation of gpmc should fix the issue. Also run sfc /scannow from cmd which might fix any broken dll files on the OS.

    Hi,

    Could you open the 'gpedit.msc'? If not , please try the following method,

    Copy gpedit.msc from c:\windows\system32 to c:\windows\syswow64

    And this thread may help:

    If the issue is not resolved, please reinstall gpmc to test.

    Hope it helps!

    Regards.

    Gpmc template file might corrupt. It can be deleted and it is located in user's appdata location: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\MMC.
