Hi Ivan, Just to be sure, you mean that you want to control specific XP settings via a gPO? If that's the case, you should think about creating your own administrative templates (.ADM). Another thing you can do is to import .ADM templates from a Windows Server 2003 machine or XP machine. You can find additional information regarding the above on the following website. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/xpmanaged /31_xpapc.mspx If the desired settings are not in these .ADM's, then you can always create your own. This is the way I do it: On a XP machine install a registry monitor tool which monitors the changes in the registry. For example, if you want to have a gPO setting that disables the firewall. On the XP machine were you installed the registry monitor tool, first enable and then disable the firewall, don't forget to first activate the tool, the tool will register which registry key is used for this action. If you find the registry key that records this, then you can create an ADM with the desired settings that you want, disable and/or enable. Import your ADM file in the XP workstation gPO, link it to the applicable OU, and test your gPO on a XP machine. I have attached an .ADM template, so you can see what kind of code you must use to create one. There is additional information regarding the ADM code, but I do not know anymore were you can find it, just search the Microsoft website for ADM, and you will probably find it. If you have any questions, feel free to mail me Best Regards, Dennis Schut Technical Consultant Infratects BV Architects of the Future...
