Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • One of the following Group Policy settings is configured in a Group Policy object (GPO):
    Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Change the time zone
    Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Create symbolic links
  • The Group Policy setting is applied to a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista.
  • You open the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) snap-in window of Microsoft Management Console (MMC), or you run the Group Policy Results (gpresult.exe) command-line tool to check the results on the computer.
In this scenario, the Group Policy setting is not displayed in the report, and you receive the following error message in the report:
An error has occurred while collecting data for Security Configuration Engine (SCE) Extension.

This error impacts the following settings: 
Account Policies (Password Policy, Account Lockout Policy, Kerberos Policy)
Local Policies (Audit Policy, User Rights Assignment, Security Options)
Event Log
Restricted Groups
System Services
Registry
File System 
The following errors apply to all of the above settings: 
An unknown error occurred while data was gathered for this extension. Details: Requested value 'SeTimeZonePrivilege' was not found.

Note In the scenario that you use the "Create symbolic links" Group Policy setting, the requested value is "SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege."
