I changed our Default Domain Policy at 4:00pm yesterday and find this morning
that all the XP clients are operating with the screen savers policy as
defined in the Domain Policy. The Win2K clients are not, tehy are stillable
to make changes to the screen saver time out and the password protection (not
greyed out). Do you have any suggestions why this has not applied to the
Win2K clients.

Thanks,
