You can still use the old policy editor, poledit.exe, to create a policy for 98. Just save it as config.pol, (instead of ntconfig.pol) in the %systemroot%\system32\repl\import\scripts folder on all logon servers. As long as your 98 clients are set to validate with the 2K server, they will get their policy as usual.

good luck,

Ian

you'll have to add the windows.adm template to the policy editor before opening a policy to have all possible 98 settings. All three templates are in the inf hidden folder.

In a Windows 2000 domain the config.pol file must be saved in the Netlogon share on the PDC Emulator for Windows 98 clients. This is the default setting. The Netlogon share is not the same path as in Windows NT 4. It is found at :\SYSVOL\sysvol\\scripts. This is where the system policy must be saved on a Windows 2000 Server.
