Still have the same issue with XP policies on 2k domain.

[Andrew Story]

Hi - I'm hoping that someone can help before I pay MSPSS for assistance.
ANY suggesstions are welcome

I have a Win2k domain which has mainly 2k pro clients. We are now starting
to roll out XP clients.

I can't update our EXISTING GPO's to support the extra feartures for XP.
Any NEW GPO I create from my XP SP2 machine using GPMC has all the XP
features present, when i open EXISTING GPO's (Like default Domain controller
policy, default domain policy etc) they have none of the extras for XP.

As mentioned, I have opened using GPMC from a XP workstation but the
existing polices do not update to support additional XP functionality.

Please, what could I be doing wrong?

On the policies that are not showing the new values, have you updated the
ADM files yet?

Laura, thankyou, I haven't seen that before

One question, do I have to do this on every DC and on every policy the DC
has a copy of?

Thanks, Andy
