    Thanks, roger.

    My questions is actually can I use w2k3 security template to w2k servers?
    because w2k3 security settings are different from w2k, so do I have to
    separate w2k servers from w2k3 servers with different OU? I previously has
    the thought that w2k3 security template can be applied to w2k servers
    directly, now looks there are lot differences between them.
