Hi,

Hi - thanks for the reply. Does this have to be done with an XP
machine or can the policies be uploaded to a Win2k DC and
administered from there with GPMC? Does it change the existing
poilicies to a newer version?


Hi you can administer with W2k but you cannot install the GPMC on W2k. You will not see all XP policies as W2k is older. So I strongly suggest you get a XP Workstation as Admin-PC. ;)
Your existing GPOs will be updated with the newer adms of XP. It won't change any setting within the GPOs.

Take a look here:
