I have an XP client on a Win2000 domain. I have copied the appropriate ADM files to the Win2000 server, created an OU and moved the (XP) user to that OU. Then, I have created a Group Policy for the OU. However, the XP client doesn't recognize any ofthe settings I have established in the GPO. What am I doing wrong?

First go to the command prompt. Type gpresult and wait for the configuration to popup.

This tool can be used to see if the GPO is taking effect, whether that computer/user has the proper permissions or if it is being filtered.

I would startthere.

My apologies: I should have withdrawn this question. The answer is this: in order for the policies to have any effect, the workstation must be using that servers DNS service. I was using another DNS service so my workstation was ignoring the policies set on the server.
