GPO and XP Client

I am running Server 2008 Enterprise with group policies. In my test
environment, I have a Vista Ultimate and XP Pro client. Any changes that I
make with the GPO on the server correctly effects my Vista client, but I get
nothing out of the XO Pro client.

Is there a conflict with Server 2008 and XP Pro, besides Microsoft wanting
people to buy new client licenses, that I am not aware of?

Thank you.,

No, this isn't a licensing issue. Much depends on the types of
changes/settings you're making. On the XP clients make sure you have all the
requisite updates installed (group policy preference client-side extensions
& XMLLite). Look for errors in an rsop.msc on the client experiencing the
problem.

XP and Vista have different Group Policy setting so what is relevant to Vista
may not be relevant to XP. For example the firewall settings are different
because it is a different firewall.

OK, it's coming down to a permission problem. I ran rsop.msc and next to
User Name it displays my domain and user name with Access Denied in
prentices. Any ideas? Where would I grant permissions? This does not apply
on the Vista client, just the XP client.

Are there any errors in the event logs. Has XP got a valid password to create
the "Trust" with the server. Are there any "No domain controllers exist...."
errors in the logs.
