We have a Windows 2000 Domain and have implemented a Dafault Domain Policy. It applies great to Windows 2000 Professional machines, but it does not seem to take on Windows NT Workstation 4.0 machines. The NT 4.0 Workstations are all running Service Pack 6 and are joined to the Windows 2000 Domain.

Can anyone help?

We had a similar problem. Basically a NT domain with all 95/98 machines. We eventually had to use a if %OS%="windows_nt" in a login batch to apply specific policies to NT or 2000 machines. Granted both OSes will report windows_nt with that variable, but you can also change what that reports in the environment variables to deliniate between NT and 2000 systems.

Granted this isn't exactly pretty, but it did work, We were also running quite a few groups, and trying to string out which was walking on which and blasting the policy out was getting to be more of a hassle then it was worth.

Good luck to you
