Group Policy Update problem...String tool long

I updated my Group Policy Objects With the New Windows
Firewall Settings so that I can edit firewall settings on
Windows XP SP2. I followed the instructions listed in the
Deploying Windows Firewall Settings for Microsoft Windows
XP with Service Pack 2 document found here:

I updated one of our group policy objects from the XP SP2
machine. It seemed to update the policy settings and I
received no errors, but when I attempt to view or edit
that policy object on the Windows 2000 Servers, 2003
Servers or any other machines other than XP machines, I
receive between 50-100 or so Administrative template
popups that state that the following entry in the strings
section is too long and has been truncated. I have to
click OK to all of these popups before I can view or edit
any portion of the policy object. What can I do to
prevent or resolve these errors. Any help that anyone can
provide will be much appreciated. Thanks.
