OK. You may be able to find that you can do what with Windows 2003
templates. It's just that the security options that do not exist in Windows
2000 will not be applied and that other security options have been renamed.
The one security option that may be confusing is the security option for
"additional restrictions for anonymous access" which has been split into a
couple different security options in Windows 2003. If you have the need to
configure "additional restrictions for anonymous access" to be "no access
without explicit anonymous permissions" I am not sure if that can be done
with a Windows 2003 security template. The Security Configuration and
Analysis mmc snapin is always the best way to see exactly what security
policy is being applied to any computer. Keep in mind that the disable
storage of lmhash security option will not apply to Windows 2000 computers -
it requires a registry change. --- Steve
