Not going to say it cannot or should not be done throught KiX, but if GPOs are available to use through Active Directory, then that is the route I would go. I would limit to KiX, only that which cannot be done by GPO. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

We are still running NT4 But I was still wondering if it was possible to refresh the environment on a remote machine? I found that, as Jens said, if I don't refresh the environment on the remote machine, the reg change won't stick. _________________________ Micah Davis "A truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn."

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	That's my guess as well, however he doesn't specifically reference the policies subkeys. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
