    Hello,
    I'm just getting started learning many of the features of Microsoft
    operating systems. My question has to do with Group Policy. I am trying to
    edit the local Group Policy on a remote computer. I select the computer to
    manage via either through the Active Directory interface or mmc. Each time
    I get an error that says it cannot connect to the remote computer. If I map
    a drive to the remote computer I can connect, I don't want to have to map a
    drive for every workstation in the organization. Any ideas on why this is
    happening? How can I fix it?

    Thanks,
