Config.pol

[Barry]

I need to use poledit to create config.pol files on
Win2k, problem is when I build a PC with Win2k the
Directory C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\repl\Local\Scripts where
Config.pol sits dosnt exist, if I try creating the
directories myself within SYSTEM32 and place the
config.pol file in it the when the PC boots its dosnt
pick up the restrictions that I placed when creating the
Config.pol file with poledit. The PC's are stand alone
PC's so they havnt been added to a domain, thats why im
using poledit and not Group policies plus there seems to
be better restrictions offered with poledit, it can place
better restrictions and I can place the restrictions on a
user/group basis.
What am I doing wrong why isnt config.pol file being
picked up by the user logins and why dont the directories
exist?

You should be using the Local Security Policy for the Win2k boxes. Poledit
is for down level clients. Check out the following...
