Jochen, Might I recommend a book that will help you through the GPO wars?
Roger Jennings (highly respected, long-time expert) has written a book for the Admin 911 series called Admin 911 : Windows 2000 Group Policy. This book is worth every penny. The other one that I would recommend as a second acquisition is Jeremy Moskowitz's book on Windows 2000 Group Policy, Profiles and IntelliMirror. Good luck!
