However having a think about this one it must cache it on the local machine
surely?? I can't believe that it would download a copy every time. Does it
not compare the timestamp of the local copy with the logon server ( like
profile downloads )??

Thanks. I did have a file called ntconfig.pol in my c:\winnt\profiles\policy
folder but I take it that they are unrelated?

No, the pol file changes the registry at logon. The changes are made to the
local machine, and the local user portions of the registry, depending on
what you have set in the pol file.

My workstation runs NT Workstation running SP6a and my domain controller is
NT Server SP6a. When my machine downloads a copy of ntconfig.pol does it
store it the local hard disk?
Doing a search for *.pol returns nothing and the updates that I have made to
the file are being reflected at my machine, i.e it must be downloading a
copy?
