The way group policy works is that you can copy the policies to the domain.
then dole out the settings from the domain. If you edit the Group policy
for the domain via XP, these settings should also get sucked up to the
domain. which again gives you a central point of administration. ( This is
how newer options can be put into the OS, and still use legacy DCs ).
