Miha is correct that only 2003 Enterprise Edition will issue V2 templates
but you should still be able to edit them on Standard Server, or even XP
with the adminpak installed. What user were you logged in as when you tried
to edit the templates, were you a Domain or Enterprise Admin or Local Admin?
