    Resolved [RESOLVED] W2K Server Group Policies for Win9x Users

    Can someone give me the quick and dirty on how to set up Group Policies for win9x machines that are loging into my win2k server? I just want to be able to do stuff like lock the desktops, control screesavers, etc.
    Thanks

    This link has the skinny on it:

    9x pretty much just has basic functionality with Active Directory. I don't think group policy works at all with 9x boxes and a 2k domain server. I'm pretty sure NT server has more functionality with 9x clients as far as that goes.

    We have been in the process of converting to 2000 from 9x for the last few months. We were not able to get ANYTHING to go with policies on the 9x machines. With 2000...this will be FUN! My (L)users won't be able to do much at all! Other than work....

    HEY... then what will I do with all my freetime?? MORE POSTING!!

    We have a mixture of 2000 server, 2000pro, NT4 workstation and 95. You'd me ammazed at the number of users that want an old 95 machine just so the can play with there desktop.
    If it aint broke, don't fix it....... If it's broke, buy a new one
