Chris-
Specifically what features are you trying to get on Win2K? There is some
facility to leverage things like Computer Configuration\Windows
Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options across both OS',
assuming they are supported on both. Those particular options are populated
from a file on the client called sceregvl.inf that's stored in %windir%\inf.
You might be able to copy some settings from the XP version of that file to
2K if they are actually supported on 2K.
