This is the principal group for SBS2000 questions, yes.
Post by news.microsoft.comRunning SBS2K and I'm about to switch on GP for all users, but I need
myself and my Directors PC not to use the this policy on our PC's, How?
What do you mean "switch on GP"? Group Policy is *always* on. It's a core
part of Windows.
If you mean you're building a new GPO, it won't be active until it's
linked in to the AD OU structure somewhere, and accessible to machines or
user accounts.
There are a number of ways to control what GPO is applied when:
* WMI Filters on the policy,
* security permissions on the policy,
* where it's linked in to AD
For example, in SBS2003, the SBS dev team use a WMI Filter to restrict the
Windows Firewall GPO to only XP SP2 or later machines (since that's when
it became the Windows Firewall, and the GPO settings have meaning).
