Have you switched the AD mode from Mixed to Native?

Subject: [THIN] POLEDIT policy in an Active Directory


I am pulling my hair out here...

I had an NT4 domain.  My Win2K terminal server was happily pulling a unique
policy file from my file server, from a non-NETLOGON share.

Upgrade the NT4 domain to Active Directory...

Now it appears that the policy files in this unique location are not being
applied.  I double checked the NetworkPath and UpdateMode entries in the
registry, and they still point to the correct location, and UpdateMode is
still 2 (manual update).  But the policy is not being applied.

I turned on auditing on the folder where the policy file lives, and there
aren't even any failed Object Access audits; it is just ignoring the
registry settings completely!

Frankly, I intend to replace these with Group Policy, but wanted to do so
carefully, so I wanted to continue with my "Tried and tested" .POL files for
now.  Anyone have any suggestions?

BTW, I have not modified the default domain policy at all, and this TS is
currently in the "Computers" OU, with no special GPO's applied.  Vanilla
Active Directory install...

Thanks in advance,
