Is your Domain Controller Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 (the DC applying the policies) ?<br />
<br />
Please consider: If you use Windows 2000 Active Directory with Group Policies, then you may want to upgrade the policies to reflect components of Windows XP.<br />
<br />
hmmmm....did that make sense?<br />
<br />
Anyway, since Windows XP is much newer that Windows 2000, there is an admin pack that will allow you to control more features of a windows xp client from a windows 2000 server:<br />

<br />
<br />
Of course if you are using Windows 2003 AD then this is a moot point. &nbsp;Moot I say. Moot. &nbsp;I like typing the word moot.<br />

Dear Moot :-),<br />
<br />
I have the updated admin pack with the controls for Windows XP. We are using Windows 2000 domain controllers.<br />
<br />
Thanks for replying!

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a mixed network environment with some Windows XP SP2 machines and some that are still at SP1. Is there a problem with enabling some of the group policy settings for the domain that are specific to IE 6 on Windows XP SP2? Would it cause any problems for the workstations not at SP2 and that particular version of IE?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Internet Explorer and Group Policy

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
