Title: RE: [ActiveDir] GPO on XP & 2000 Pro

You can always make a conflicting GPOs and get those to work (but with limitation)

 

Example WMI Filter: OS=XP and OS=NON XP

 

Settings                                                                                                                        Result               Result

GPO 1              WMI Filter OS=XP                     Settings Hide Recycle Bin = no              2000 show        XP hide

GPO 2              WMI Filter OS=NON-XP             Hide Recycle Bin = yes                          2000 hide          not processed

                                                                                                                                    ========================

 

Final result =     Win2000 Hide Recycle Bin = Yes

                                    WinXP Hide Recycle Bin = No

 

Limitation = you cant set conflicting for something that you want to be set as NOT DEFINED.

 

Hope that helps

 

Thank you and have a splendid day!

I can think of plenty of reasons to have a different OU for servers and no good reasons to not have this OU.  If I were tasked with the job of admin for this environment, creating and populating a servers OU would be one of my first tasks.

The second would be installing GPMC on my PC.  :-)
