Re: foreign language gpo

Thankyou both very much. :-)

Part of my issue was that I added a policy to allow power users the rights
to add/remove device drivers. It works fine on all machines apart from some
that have a French OS. These particular clients have lots of SCEcli event
id:1202 errors, this seems to be caused by the fact that the name of the
power users group on a french OS is spelt different than from an English OS
(most machines are win2k, Policy editing machine is Win XP with GPMC).

Is there a way to work around this, as I can;t be the only person with
machines using mutiple laguages :-)

Any help much appreciated

only manually, re-import your desired ADMs.
It happens because the foreign language ADM files are newer than yours
and the gpeditor has an automatic update function. Everytime you open
a GPO, the local ADM files ar checked, if they are newer, than the
existing
ones, they will be replaced.

I think the easiest way is:
open your %systemroot%\inf ADM templates (conf, system, inetres, wuau,
wmplayer) change something and revert it, save it. Now this files are
newer ... open the GPOs from this machine.

To deactivate this "automatic update" function, take a look at:
Userconfig\AdmTempl\system\group policy
