You might want to verify that you have the correct ADM templates installed
on your DCs and client computers that you are using for updating GPOs. This
setting for Waiting for the network should be there, especially if you are
trying to support XP Pro clients. The 2k ADM templates won't have all of the
correct settings, but the ADM templates from either XP or 2k3 server will.
