Group Policy

[Guest]

Hi .

I have made a group policy in Active Directory Server working in Windows 2000 advance server.
Then I have added users objects (around 150 user) into that group policy. The policy worked fine on computers running Windows 2000 Pro, but did not work on computers with Windows XP. I need to know how to make my policy work on windows XP
Please give feedback. Thank you.

Hi ,

Even i have faced the same problem but with windows 98
clients ,The problem was that nobody was able to log in
itself . Later i re-created the completed folder structure
of my sysvol and added a new dir named scripts under
c:\winnt\sysvol\domain.com\. and every thing was fine
after that . I 'am not realy sure if this could help you
but any way have a try.

You need to import the .adm files from a WINXP machine so that you have the
updated .adm files. The WINXP machines will understand them and the WIN2000
machines will 'ignore' the WINXP-specific settings. This way everyone will
be happy!

Sunil,

Group Policy does not apply to WIN98 systems. With anything before WIN2000
( meaning, WIN9x and WINNT 4 ) you have to use poledit, which will tattoo
the settings into the system registry. Even if you install the appropriate
version of DSClient.exe on the system ( which does give the system a limited
'understanding' of Active Directory - generally it understands Sites now and
a few other minor things ) those legacy systems will not understand GPO.

HTH,
