This only has to be done if you want the policy settings to flow automatically. You can change the location of the .POL files to any arbitrary share you want by changing the "NetworkPath" and "UpdateMode" registry entries in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Update key of the registry. I would try what you suggest, but then the Terminal Server policies would apply to the non-terminal client machines as well, and that is not what I want... Anyone at all have Policy Files working outside of the NETLOGON share in an Active Directory?
