If policies are set this way to say 200 PC's - ie the policies are all 
local.  What would you do if you wanted to change a setting?  Would you need 
to connect to each PC and run gpedit.msc on every PC?  I know if there was 
an AD backend, you could make the change once only.  Is there a way to 
update the local policies via a command line - ie is there 1 file that 
contains the settings which you could run as part of a login script?  
Manually making the change on each PC via gpedit would be an administrative 
nightmare..

Subject: [THIN] Group Policy question nt4/win2k

Hi,
   We have an nt4 domain and we are currently using nt4 group policies
to
control access to our nt4 Terminal servers with metaframe 1.8.  We have
begun to bring in win2k servers with Metaframe XPe to replace the nt4
servers.  We have not upgraded our domain to w2k so we don't have active
directory yet.  I would like to use group policies but that requires AD
is
there any other way to use group policies in this mixed environment??
Can I
use the nt4 policy on a w2k server??  Is there another way to "lock the
users down" until we can get to AD.
