Newest wrinkle on this is that I just got in a new PC,
brought it up, applied some critical patches, connected
it to my network, downloaded all remaining critical
updates. This machine I can manage remotely and no
options are grayed out in local security policy. I hate
to have to completely re-install to move from win2k to XP
Pro and other offices in my organization have not
reported problems.
