We have a client who has moved a Windows XP Pro PC, previously part of a
subsidiary company's network. The local manager wanted this PC to join his
local SBS2K network. All went fine EXCEPT it looks like the PC has retained
settings from the previous domain's Group Policy (or is it a Local
Policy???). For example, in this SBS2K network they don't want
password-protected screen savers - but this PC has this feature enabled and
there's no screen saver tab available on Display Properties to turn it off.
So the question is: How To Restore Local and Domain Policies to their
defaults?
TIA
