GPO and GPOLMIG.EXE

[Martyn Heath]

Has anyone used the Resource Kit util GPOLMIG to migrate NT4.0 System Policies to W2K AD GPO's? Although it migrates the settings in the GPO Editor Template, it does NOT apply them to the OU when logging on with a user account which should have the GPO applied...any answers are welcome...

Well, if anyone is interested, a workaround is as follows:
after migrating with the GPOLMIG util, select one of the NOT CONFIGURED objetcs, then click on the radio button (NOT CONFIGURED is the one I choose), then select APPLY, then the GPO is applied. You can check this by looking in the GUID portion of the SYSVOL directory for the USER or Machine element to find the REGISTRY.POL file existing, whereas prior to this workaround it was not. I have checked the workaround only very quickly, but my thanks go to the PSS engineer who worked on this for me....
