Christine-
Default behavior whenever you edit a GPO is that GP Editor
will check the version of the ADM files that exist in c:\windows\inf on the
workstations where you're editing the GPO, and, if newer, they will be coped up
to the SYSVOL portion of that GPO, thus "updating" it, and allowing you to see
the new templates in the GPO. What you should find is that the XP, SP2
ADMs are a superset of those found on Win2K. So, if you make a conscious
decision to update all of your GPOs to the XP, Sp2 templates, then you will be
consistent across the board and won't lose anything in terms of still managing
those Win2K boxes. What I would recommend, however, is that from now on you only
edit your GPOs from XP.

Subject: [ActiveDir] GPO console version 1/2003 Admin tools.
Hi,
We have a 2000 AD environment. We have just started rolling out xp workstations and now I cannot use 2000 admin tools on the xp box. I have downloaded the 2003 admin tools which run fine on xp, however, my gpo templates don't match what's on the 2000 domain controllers. Same thing is happening for the GPO console (which is totally sweet!).
Has anyone else had this issue? Do I need to update gpo templates or something?
