Hey guys,
I successfully upgraded a 2 domain environ to AD parent child mixedmode
this weekend.One little glitch i am facing at this time, is about the group
Policies.
Old nt policy was setup and was working, which is no longer taking effect
in the new environment for new users or for old users logging to a different
machine.

Our machine image which has a registry entry to get latest updates from
one of the nt servers is no longer pulling the old .pol file.


How can i make the old .pol file to work with AD environ?

Thanks

I don't use system polices but the link below may help. I believe you
basically put it in the netlogon share on the domain controllers. ---

Just remember that Netlogon has changed location. On the upgraded NT box the
winnt\system32\repl\import\scripts directory has the .pol file move them to
windows\sysvol\sysvol\<domainName>\scripts. This is only for the down level
recipients of old style policies. It has been quite a while since I looked
into this but I believe this is the case. I will attempt to look at it later
if I can.

This should do it though...
