I have had some problems with group policies and
espesially account policies every since I started using
Windows XP SP2 on my Admin workstation. To make a long
story short, I deleted and recreated all my GPOs
including the Default Domain Policy. Everything is
working greatexcept account policies. I'm assuming after
reading some MS knowledge articles and some post from
this newgroup that I no longer have a true Default Domain
policy, even though that is what I called the new one.
Is there a way to force W2K/AD to recognize the policy I
created as the original Default Domain Policy?

Thanks,
Miles
