Quick rundown: Win2k server with Active Directory installed, windows 2000 and windows 98 clients. using poledit, i have created a policy named config.pol and saved this policy in the netlogon folder of the server. when i log on to a 98 client, the policy is not in affect. I have the client set to log onto NT domain. what else do i need to set up?

hey
unfortunately
as far as i know
you cannot apply gpo's on win98 clients
you need to configure the local policy of non win2k clients

Those system policies should be executed when you copied it to the netlogon directory of one of the domaincontrollers. You should reboot after the policies have been copied and it would be effective the first time you log on.

Did you change the automatic policy update settings?

1. In System Policy Editor, click the File menu, and then click Open Registry.
2. Double-click Local Computer.
3. Double-click Windows 98 Network, double-click Update, and the select the Remote Update check box.

Note The remote computer must be running the Microsoft Remote Registry service, Remote Administration must be enabled, and user-level security must be enabled.
