The following entry in the [string] section is too long and has truncated

Situation: The client receives the following message when edit a group policy on a Windows 2000 DC: "The following entry in the [string] section is too long and has truncated. If you enable any policies for the security page, it is strongly recommended that you also configure policy to disable the security page from being presented in the UI to prevent users from believing that they can change the security settings...."

Cause: The client creates the group policy on Windows 2000 and then edits it on Windows 2003. The problem occurs because older versions of the Group Policy editor cannot interpret some string types created/edited by the the new version of Group Policy Editor. Modifying the entry Using the Windows 2003 or re-create it.
