Re: Windows 2000 AD, Windows XP clients

Hi Norbet, thanks again.

One last question, I used an XP machine to open a test policy. When I also
opened this policy on a Win2k DC I had lots of Windows appear with errors
regarding the policy being truncated etc.

Is this normal behaviour, or have I missed something/done something wrong
would you think?

Thanks for your help, Andy

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:

will never wanna work without it.
