I have an NT 4 network which I will not be able to upgrade to W2K for at least a couple of years. I have a combo of Win9.x and NT 4 clients. I have set up NT group policies and they do exactly what I want them to do without having to visit every desktops. I have tested Win95 group policies and would prefer not to use them because they require visiting every client and they are problematic. I would like to change the OS on the the clients that will require group policies. NT 4 would be an option, be the users need Media Player 7, which can't be installed on NT 4. Has anyone used Win2K group policies on an NT 4 network?

Yes I have used 2000 Group Policies with NT4 clients. You can still use the System Policy Editor (POLEDIT.EXE) to manage system policies in Windows 2000. System policy files work as follows in the Windows family of operating systems:
System policy files created in Windows 2000or Windows NT4 will work with Win2k or NT4 clients

System policy files created in Win98 or Win95 will work with Win98 and 95 clients

Hope this helps!!
