AD error in Group policy

[Guest]

Our Domain runs on W2k adv. We are 3 admins. Two of us run win xp pro. on our
pcs and have installed win 2003 adminpak to manage our domain from our pcs
and have no problem. But the other admin running w2k pro on his pc gets error
messages like one below, when he tries to edit any group policy. The same
errors come up when we try to edit or create policies in Group policy on the
domain controllers.
Here is error message:
The following entry in the [strings] section is too long and has been
truncated.
Internet Explorer contains dynamic binary behaviours: components that
encapsulate specific functionality for HTML elements to which they were
attached. These binary behaviors are not controlled by any pages in zones
such as Restricted sites. In windows xp service 2, there is a new internet
explorer security for binary behaviours. This new binary behaviours security

Hi

This problem occurs because older versions of the Group Policy editor cannot
interpret some string types that include more than 255 characters. These
string types are included in parts of .adm files that are meant to be
excluded by the "IF VERSION" construct.

Typically, the problem occurs when you try to view or modify a GPO that has
been viewed by a different workstation, and that workstation contains .adm
files that use the "IF VERSION >=5" construct. When an administrative
workstation views a GPO, the workstation automatically updates that GPO with
the latest version of the .adm files. If the workstation's .adm files are
newer than the files that are contained in the \Adm folder of the domain
GPO, the template files are updated. If the template files contain the "IF
VERSION >=5" construct, when an administrative workstation tries to modify
or to view the GPO, and the workstation does not have this hotfix installed,
the errors occur.

Resolution

Hope this helps
