NT 4.0 Policies - GPO in Active Directory

Does anyone have a document that "maps" NT 4.0 policies to the corresponding settings in Active Directory group policies?

Most of what is in the NT .adm file is located in the Computer Configuration>Administative Template>System folder.  There are other things spread around a bit, but you'll find most of them in the Administrative Templates section.

As far as I can remember, the settings are labelled almost the same.

Here is a small primer on the Windows 2000 side:

Windows 2000 Group Policy

Here is a spreadsheet with a listing of all the policies and how they relate to windows 2k and XP workstations

Are you looking for anything in paticular?  I have all the Win2k and OfficeXP adms documented.  NT 4 workstations would still have to use a .pol file on a server share.  XP adm files are backward compatible with Win2k and offer more functionality.

Basically what I'm trying to do is compare my existing NT 4.0 policies with W2K GPO settings so I can make the policies similar for our migration. I will be modifying other parts of the new GPO, but I have to at least have the same settings that existed in the NT policies to minimize disruption.
Just something that says that the NT 4.0 setting of Default Computer - System- Restrictions - Disable registry editing tools corresponds to W@K GPO setting of User Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - Disable registry editing tools.
Make sense?
