After creating a GPO ( for users and for the pc's ) on an OU in a Win9x environment, nothing happened. Is there any difference in a Win9x network in how they are applied? I have a single server network with macs and pc's. Thoughts? Thanks

You will need to use the resource kit for Windows 2000 to get the policies to apply to the 98 machines. Technet has some great info on how to accomplish what you are trying to do, so I'd hit the site, and go from there...

I'm sorry I don't have any more detail for you, but I hope this helps.

You will need POLEDIT.EXE from w98 to create a policy-file for W98 workstations. Place the file in the NETLOGON-share of the 2000-DC's (is replicated automatically). 2000 GPO's don't work for W95/98/ME or for NT4 (use POLEDIT from NT4 for NT4)
POLEDIT kan be found on de normal W98 CD (CD:\TOOLS\RESKIT\NETADMIN\POLEDIT) Install by using add-remove-programs in the controlpanel. Install grouppolicies on all W98-workstations.
Good luck
