Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (
More info?)
We have had some success now. Using Group Policy Status in the replmon tool
we found which folder was the Default Domain Policy. We noticed the
timestamp on the adm files in this folder were 7/27/04. On my XP SP2
machine the adm files had a timestamp of 7/17/04. We figure the adm files
for the Default Domain Policy were not getting updated because these older
adm files had a newer timestamp the the XP SP2 files (dont ask me how).
So we uploaded them manually:
Make a backup copy of your Default Domain Policy adm files
Copy your XP SP2 adm files (located in %windir%\inf) to a temp folder on the
dc
Open Group Policy mgmt
Right click Default Domain Policy
Edit
Right click Administrative templates
Add the new templates you want from that temp folder
