Re: Questions about GPResult on W2K

Windows 2000 has quite limited resultant policy capability,
as the underlying code needed was only plumbed into Windows
starting with XP. Back in W2k we needed to use gp logging
when we needed to troubleshoot difficult policy application
issues. Alternatively, you could use GPMC in "what if" mode
with a W2k target machine. That will not tell you the actual
result as currently applied, but will show what would get
laid onto the W2k / user combination.

For XP and Windows 2003 GPResult gives me a section for Account Policies
and
Security Options. This allows me to grab into a text file values like
MinimumPasswordLength, etc. However, this information seems to be missing
completely from the W2K GPResult output. Does anyone have any good ideas
for grabbing
the information that the XP or 2003 GPResult output with 2000?

Sould I be using a different command line tool on win2000 to get this
information?

Thanks in advance,

R.
