Windows 2000/XP Policies (W2K)

[snakeyes]

Is there a way that I can centralize Windows 2000/XP Policies (something similiar to Windows 9x clients looking for the policy file on a server/network share) without having to upgrade to Active Directory?

Any and all guidance would be REALLY appreciated!

Thanks,

Unfortunately not. You can setup a default policy on one machine using MMC. Then export the settings via the .inf file option. Go to the other machines and import the .inf into the MMC and then set the effective policy setting. Check the MMC Help. Very detailed info.

if you are running a win2K/XP domain you could create a policy called NTconfig.pol this will then get implemented on clients.

you can also do this on a netware server by placing the policy into the sys\public volume. clients will then implement the policy at login.
