Read the GPMC whitepaper, it explains the adm templates quite nicely. Specifically pg 29-30 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/gpmc/gpmcwp.mspx
In a nutshell, you want the latest adm files on your sysvol, settings that aren't applicable to a platform won't be applied. Like the article you quoted says- "Microsoft recommends that you edit upgraded GPOs from Windows XP-based clients. You can perform subsequent management of these GPOs (such as linking them to domains or organizational units) from the Windows 2000 Active Directory management tools." The tool of choice is GPMC. -----Original Message----- From: Salandra, Justin A.
