We are getting the following error when going in to our default domain policy:

The following error occurred in
\ourdomain.com\sysvol\ourdomain.com\Policies\\Adm\system.adm
on line 63:
Error 62 The corresponding string was not found in the [strings] section
Found: !!AdministrativeServices_Help
The file can not be loaded.

We are running a mixed mode of Windows 2003 and Windows 2000 domain
controllers. Nothing shows up in the event log of the domain controller.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think posters issue is different, i.e. inconsistent or corrupt adm file.

Is the entry for AdministrativeServices_Help indeed missing in the
strings section of the adm file?
Have you compared the system.adm file with a known good one ??
(perhaps from the W2k3 CD, although I would need to see if it was
updated by Sp1)

Well, those numbers (size, date) do not match on a W2k3 (non R2) Sp1 DC
that I just checked, where there is 3rd def in "Category Strings" is given
as
AdministrativeServices_Help="Allows configuration of various system
component settings."
The size you state does match exactly the system.adm I find on a stand-alone
XP SP2 from its ServicePackFiles\i386 directory (which does have the def in
the strings section.
So all the system.adm files in the policies subfolders in SysVol are the
same,
i.e. incomplete?
Were it not for the odd coincidence (?) of size matching the XP SP2 version
I would just think your W2k3 copy was toasted, plain and simple.
On W2k3 Sp1 DC in the Sp1 uninstall dir there is (the preSp1 file)
1,509,468 mod dated March 25,3003 (i.e. initial release) i.e. at
Windows$NtServicePackUninstall$
and in the Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 there is (the Sp1 file)
of 1,764,476 bytes mod dated Feb 18, 2005
Just which one is found in a specific sysvol\<dom>\policies\<guid>\adm
seems to depend on whether any settings from the adm have been used
in that GPO
Does this give you some ideas where you could look on your system
for copies of the files, to see if it is only the one indicated policy where
the system.adm is "trashed" ??
