W2K GPO doesn't apply on Windows NT clients

[Guest]

I have 2 server with Windows 2000 in our LAN and workstations with Windows 2000 Professional and Windows NT 4.0
I created Group Policy Object in Active Directory with security settings for screensavers ( hide screen saver tab - enable)
This setting is applied only on the workstations with Windows 2000, but it don't work on these with Windows NT. I learne
that I can create Administrative templates for 2000 & NT, which I can apply in Active Directory, but it is dangerous
Can someone help me with any idea ?

GPOs only work for 2000, XP, and 2003 clients and servers. NOT NT at all.
However, you can still use System Policies, the old standby ntconfig.pol.
Just configure this using poledit.exe and then store the file in the
NETLOGON share of your DCs. This will apply to all NT workstations, as long
as the configurations in the ntconfig.pol indicate that all NT workstations
get the settings.
