I go to Managing your server, Domain Controller, Manage Users and Computers
in Active Directory, then I select my domain (domain.dom), properties-Group
Policy and I edit that policy there.

thanks fro your reply

You are configuring the correct setting, but it is unclear how you apply the
policy. In order to apply the policy to all XP workstations, you have to
configure it in a GPO applied to the entire domain or in a GPO applied to
the OU which contains computer accounts for these workstations.

Hello, I'm having a bit of a problem.
In a test environment I have a Win 2003 server with some xp clients.  When I
change folder redirection for My Documents it takes 2 logons for the clients
to do this.  I understand the how and why of this after reading some posts.
I read that you have to disable the fast login by going to GPO Computer
Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Logon then enable the "Always
wait for the network computer startup and logon".
When I do this on the Windows 2003 server it does not seem to work.  When I
go to the xp client and login as local admin and use gpedit.msc and edit it
there it then works after that.
My question is how do I send that group policy to EVERY xp client without
having to go to each individual client gpedit.msc and configure it?  I
thought that was the beauty of group policies :)
Thanks for any suggestions:
