The stub received bad data error when creating a new GPO with Workflow disabled. (4375335)

The stub received bad data error when creating a new GPO with Workflow disabled.

The following error is seen when creating a new GPO with the option Workflow enabled not selected:



However, if this option is selected the GPO is created successfully. 

Also, if you log off and log back using the service account credentials and try the same creating the GPO with workflow enabled option not selected it creates the GPO successfully.

This is likely due to the fact that workflow disabled operations are done in the GPMC APIs directly as the user logged into GPOADmin, not the service account. In this case the user does not have the rights to create a GPO in the domain, thus receiving the access denied error. Also, a workflow disabled GPO will allow the user to edit the live GPO directly, in the same manner as you would in GPMC.

Grant rights to create GPOs in the domain directly to the users that will logon to GPOADmin console.

Please note if you would not wish to do this you should like not be using Workflow Disabled.
