Re: Another XP GPO Question

Hi,

The ADM files must be copied to your Server C:\Winnt\inf folder. Just manually copy the files from XP C:\Windows\inf to the server and any other computer that you open Group Policies on. You can download the most recent ADM's here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=92759d4b-7112-4b6c-ad4a-bbf3802a5c9b&DisplayLang=en

You should now be seeing the new policies on the servers. I update my ADM's everytime a new OS comes out. Unfortunately Vista uses admx so they won't read on anything but a Vista box.

Cheers,
Lara

Hello,

I can open and administer GPO's on my Win2k Domain, using my XP workstaion - no probs. Is there a way to have any existing policy update to include the new XP features (like disabling XP firewall etc)? I can open all the existing policies, but would rather be able to update them for my XP xlients, rather than have a new set of policies to administer. Can this be done?

Thanks.
