Hi,

I know GPMC can handle W2K domains when started on a W2K3 server, but from a
developer's perspective: why does GPMC not run on W2K? What kind of library
or component(s) are missing, even after installing the .NET Framework?

Thanx for any explanation,

Hans

This is just a guess, but I assume it has to do with the new RSoPxxx methods
in userenv.dll that are not there in W2K... and also the new
IRSOPInformation interface, and the extended GPO extensions that handle
settings that W2K doesn't have etc. I'm guessing it's quite complicated.

Thanx Arild,

sounds like a valid explanation. Took some files related to GPMC from a W2K3
machine to my W2K server to no reveal. Bad luck!

Hans.
