Having trouble adding Trusted sites to IE by using group policy

Hello

I have an sbs 2003 server which was upgraded fromm sbs2000 and the clients are win XP pro with IE6.  
I am trying to add some sites to Trusted sites zone of the IEs of the clients by using a group policy by following these steps;
User Configuration>Windows Settings>Internet Explorer Maintenance>security>security zones and ratings

But when I go to properties of security zones and ratings I get an alert box;

You have chosen to import settings that are only compatible with Windows Server 2003, Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration.  These security settings will be ignored on machines where the Enhanced Security Configuration isnt enabled.

To import settings for the enhanced security configuration,click Continue.

To import setting for users where the enhanced security configuration isnt enabled, click Cancel, then remove the enhanced security configuration and import the standart settings from the previous dialog.


To import setting for users who login to computer in both scenarios, configure a GPO/IEAKPackage for each scenario and deploy both packages to the same users.

I choose Continue and then import the trusted sites and OK. However the trusted sites are not reflected on the client PCs.

Hi

I am getting the same alert when i click continue-> modify settings
it goes to internet properties and than when i click on trusted sites-> sites
the ADD button is grayed out (i am not able to add the sites)
Does this overwrite any existing settings a client might have?  For example, if they had their own trusted sites, will this group policy remove those after being applied?
