Hi Keven

I'm actually surprised that the policies are being reset on the Windows 2000
machines. What you're seeing on the Windows XP SP1 machines is what I'd
expect.

Security policy is an actual registry change that needs to be modified with
a new policy. Perhaps your Windows 2000 machines actually have settings in
their local policy which is allowed to take effect once they are moved off
the domain and that is normally overridden by the domain policy?
