I am new to system policies. I am trying to implement a policy. Reading the help screens, they say to save the file on the PDC in the NETLOGON folder and name the file NTconfig.pol, then replicate the file to the BDCs. First I see no NETLOGON folder anywhere on the PDC, or BDCs, should I just create one? If these policy files are saved as listed above, are the policies then implemented across the domain when users logon?

Thanks,

NETLOGON is a share, not a folder. Map a drive to \\%server%\NETLOGON. NTconfig.pol replicates to C:\WINNT\System32\Repl\Import\Scripts on the BDCs and your policies are implemented across the domain on login.

The correct path is winnt\system32\repl\imports\scripts\ntconfig.pol use this path to save the file.
Then you must copy the file to the path winnt\system32\repl\export\scriptsafter this has been done you can then replicate to the BDC
be careful when using a system policy-because a system policy can also affect the PDC and BDC ytou may not want that to happen.
