Re: 2003 GPO not working on win2000 client

The Group Policy Settings Reference also comes in quite handy in telling
which policies are good on which O/S's, and since it's in excel format you
can search through the document for specific policies if you can't quite
remember where they are in the Group Policy Editor or if you're just
checking to see if they exist.

One more thing...
Thank You. That would explain it. I guess I am going to have to push
the
team a bit harder to upgrade the remaining 1200 PC's to an xp client.

As far as group policies. Restrictions and standard security GPO's will
still work. Is it just software restictions? I will research it also.
I'm
assuming there are a list of differences between the clients.


XP release introduced about 300 new available policy settings, which will
not hurt when application is attempted on W2k, but which will not cause
W2k to do anything. Similarly, W2k3 introduced some 400+ more, and
Vista will leap-frog this, presently not quite doubling the count.
You just need to pay attention to the "applies to" information per policy.

Hi Bob,

Software Restriction Policies were introduced in Windows XP. Windows
2000
does not support this functionality.

2003 GPO not working on win2000 client:
I have a 2003 domain. New in clean AD fact with no other GPO besides
default domain policy -

I am developing software restrictions. (Hash and Path rules)

There are XP and Win2000 clients.

I created a test OU and moved the test user and both PC's into the OU.
Used
notepad as a test. I realize that the HASH or Path could be different
for
each machine. So I end up with 4 different rules. It works against
the
XP
machine and not for the 2000 machine. I figure that may be the issue
but..
I also used this for lets say a popular peer to peer application. The
path
and Hash rule will be the same for 2000 and XP. The restriction is
applied
and it works for the XP pc and fails on the 2000 pc.

Both PC's are a member of the same domain. Identical user. Is there
something with the 2000 client that does not allow the GPO to be
enforced?
