Hi,

Can somebody explain the real usage of flags "GPO_OPEN_LOAD_REGISTRY" and
"GPO_OPEN_READ_ONLY" in the IGroupPolicy method "New"?

I've a particular condition where while trying to create a GPO
programmatically with the GPO_OPEN_LOAD_REGISTRY flag set it throws an error
of 0x80070003(The system cannot find the path specified).  This problem gets
solved if I use the flag "GPO_OPEN_READ_ONLY", but causes problem while
updating my CSE GUID during linking.  Kindly note I do not want to create
any ".pol" files that contains the registry entries. I've my configuration
data separately in a XML file generated under the SYSVOL.

Please advice me on the right usage of these flags and their purpose or any
pointers on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Raghuramji C.
