Importing XPSP2 ADM Files to Windows 2000 domain

Can i import the ADM files from WinXP SP2 to a Win2000 Domain?
I have a single Win2000 DC with several Win98 machines, and a few Win2000
and XP SP2 machines

Can i import all of them?

Yes. Just put them in the inf folder of your management workstation and your
DCs.

Hi

Yes, you can.

If you administer the GPO settings from a non-WinXP SP2 computer, you
should take a look here:

(I see that the spreadsheet referenced to in the link above does not
include e.g. the new entries in the WUAU.adm file)


If you want to configure the SP2 firewall:

Take a look at WF_XPSP2.doc "Deploying Windows Firewall Settings for
Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2", it is downloadable from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4454e0e1-61fa-447a-bdcd-499f73a637d1

 

I've noted that some strings greater the 255 chars ni the ADM files, is not
supported on Win2000
I'm reading now a KB article about that
