Lusrmgr not working - Error - invalid syntax

Hi,

We've been receiving this weird error on one of the server (Windows Server 2012) while accessing local users and groups. It shows a red cross with an error saying Invalid syntax. Due to this error we've been unable to run any command in powershell as a Local admin. Logging on to the server is working perfectly fine. We've been trying to access it through My Computer/right click/Manage, typing lusrmgr.msc in start/run, and opening up a blank MMC window and trying to add the "Local Users and Groups" snap-in. This was all done from the server console and the same error message was displayed every time. The interesting thing is that we can open this up if we run the MMC on local workstation and connect to the server.

We tried to restore the machine from backup but the old backups has same issue. Please suggest something feasible. We do not want to reinstall the machine again as this will cause an outage.
