Re: Help with GPO problem! PLEASE!!



What I mean by a new GPO is not one to replace one of the default GPO's but
an additional one. The procedure differs depending on if you have the Group
Policy Man Console or not. If you don't use GPMC then open ADUC to select
the domain or an Organizational Unit, right click and select properties,
select Group Policy, select new and choose a name for your new Group Policy.
If you are using GPMC open it, select the domain or an OU, right click and
select create an link a GPO here. You should also be able to access the
sysvol share in My Network Places and drill down to the Group Polices and
all the subfolders including opening the registry.pol file in the machine
folder for the default domain policy that starts with 31B2F... You should be
able to open it with notepad though it will look like gibberish text with
the exception of the top line might display
\software\polices\Microsoft\systemcertificates. --- Steve
