XP SP2 Hosed Active Directory

[Patrickm]

My PC is running Win XP Pro, I have installed all the domain admin tools on
it. My domain is is a Win 2k AD domain. I recently installed XP service pack
2 on my workstation, NOW when I go to any domain controller in the domain
and try to view, modify, or edit any domain policy I get hundreds of
"Adminstrative Template" errors and cannot open any of my group policies.
Many of these errors that pop up are refencing Windows XP SP2, these are
errors that are popping up on the domian controller running Win 2k. I can
however open ADU&C on my XP workstation and open the group policies but many
of the sub categories do not appear. Please help,

You edited a GPO with XP, thus the new XP SP2 .adm templates have been
uploaded to the DCs.

Solution: Only edit GPOs with a Windows XP SP2 machine running the Win2003
admin tools or the Group Policy Tool.

The rule of thumb...any changes EVER made such as GPOs...back it up.

Hi

You can also update the .adm files on the 2000 servers with the later ones

Thanks for all the help. New Issue: Now that I have applied the fix for KB
842933. ALL workstations running Outlook 2000 hang when closing Outlook
since applying this fix, regardless to OS. You have to do an "End Task" in
the Task Manager numerous times before it will finally shutdown. Is my
Exchange 2000 server somehow affected by this mess?? I did also have the the
Exchange System Manager on my workstation when I upgraded to SP 2. Is there
a similar problem with Exchange too??

Hi

This isn't an issue I've heard of before. If you uninstall 842933 from one
of the effected clients, does it resolve the issue?

Kind regards
