Propagating the Pop-Up Blocker List

[Jeff]

I have read the documentation on applying the Firewall
changes into group policy on our Windows 2000 servers
(including applying the patch). These settings are now
being pushed down to the workstation. I started looking at
the Pop-Up Blocker options. Using MMC on a XP workstation
I can see these GPO objects, however on the 2000 Server
they do not appear, furthermore they are not being pushed
down to the workstations.

Is there any documentation on getting these GPO objects to
work using a Mixed Windows 2000 Server/Windows XP SP2
environment?

There are sites that we need to have included, and since
these settings are user specific, using the GPO would be
the best solution.
Thanks.

I am not sure what you're referring to, but as long as you install the admin
tools on your XP and manage your domain from your XP you will have the
appropriate GPO templates.

Sorry, I guess I did not make my question clear.

Under XP SP2, you can add to the allow list for the built-
in pop-blocker. I have found this option within the GPO
template on the XP SP2 workstation and propagated the list
to allow our intranet sites to have pop-ups. However,
looking directly on the server (the same GPO Policy) the
Pop-up Blocker List or for that matter any of the GPO
policies beyond that of the firewall show up, and the
settings I made are not being pushed down to the
workstations.

How do you get these settings into the GPO Policy on the
server so that they are pushed to the workstations.

Currently the only settings that have in fact propagated
into the policy and the workstations are those regarding
to the firewall settings. Nothing else in regards to the
SP2 additions.

This patch has been installed.
