okay, so here are some clarification questions:

1. when implementing a new policy on a w2k server for an OU that contains XP users, does that get pushed to the client at next logon/restart, or do i need to use gpudate?

2. if using gpudate, is that issued on the xp client? if so, will the client get the policies from the DC or from the local policies?

3. when creating policies in a 2K domain consisting of XP clients, should the policies be created using the xp adm files or the adm files that are on the w2k server? they are very different. for example, the synchronization setting is in w2k, but not in the xp adm. so, maybe that is why this is not working on our xp clients.

thanks!!!
