fix

Group Policy Administrator does not require you to enable File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks across your network.  However, when the GPA Console accesses the repository, it creates a local file share called Local_GPOs in the C:\Program Files\NetIQ\GPA\bin\Local GPOs folder.  To enable the GPA Console to create this share, enable File and Printer Sharing on the GPA Console computer.

 For more information about the Local_GPOs file share, see NetIQ Knowledge Base article NETIQKB26659: What does the Local_GPOs share do in NetIQ GPA?.
