Hiya,

Just checked out your patch branch and compiled a test platform.

GPMC Still comes up with the same message about inconsistent ACLs. 
Clicking ok does not 'fix' the issue and reselecting the GPO comes up 
with the same message.
*_However_* after clicking OK sysvolcheck still passes. It does NOT fail 
like it did previously!
