We'll need way more info about your network. Have you promoted your server and have Active Directory and DNS running correctly? If so, install and run the 'group policy management console' for easy configuration of group policies.

LOL @ your signature.

Question for you, what features not included in Windows Server 2003 Standard let you decide to run Windows Server 2003 Enterprise on your "SERVER"?

- Was it the 8-way CPU support instead of the 4-way CPU support in Standard?

- Was it the support of hot-swappable memory?

- Was it the support for Intel Itanium CPUs?

- Was it the support for max 32GB RAM instead of the 4GB in Standard?

- Or was it maybe the possibility to setup clusters?

Please tell me, I am dying to know why you want to run a $4,000.00 OS over a $1,000.00 OS on a 200 bucks machine. Maybe these are just evaluation versions, but I still wanna know :)

are you kidding?

your flaming a guy when you only have 8 post's 1 being that flame.

It doesnt really matter how legal or illegal has OS may be, that doesnt mean we can't help him.

Also there are 120 day eval's of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise which is the most common version MS gives out for eval.

lol at the post above and right on.

Back on Topic. What policy are you trying to apply? the newest one from SP2?

to do that you need to download the latest templates or access the Group Policy from the Windows XP with remote MMC

Have fun!!!!
