Win XP SP2 .adm templates to Win2K SP4 Server

[CET]

Hello,
I have a network with 120 PCs and all of them is Windows
XP but my server is Windows 2000 Server SP4...
I am trying to add XP SP2 .adm templates to my server's
Group Policies but when I try to open GP I receive an
error message like;
" The following entry in the [strings] section is too long
and has been truncated ..."

I do not want to open .adm file(s) with notepad and
truncate many entries in [strings] section...

Is there an easier way to do it? or is it not possible to
do anything except for my notepad solution?

Thanx in advance...

Thank you for posting this information - its useful.

However, KB article 870703 (last item in your post) does not appear to
exist - leastwise, if I try to open it I get told there is no such article.

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

Hmm, it worked before, so I guess Microsoft have removed it then...
