Using Windows 2003 Administration Tools (specifically Active Directory Users and Computers) on Windows XP SP1a Pro Computer to create user accounts (logged on as Administrator of domain), GPO policies such as folder redirection do not properly propagate. When creating a user account in same OU on Windows 2000 Server SP4, GPO policies are applied properly.

Are there known issues with Windows 2003 adminpak RTM that are not documented in Q304718? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello techoffy

Some changes have been done in folder redirection from windows2000 to
windows server 2003, as we have an option to redirect to the users home
directory,

There are some known issues:

304718 Administering Windows Server-Based Computers Using Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=304718

Sometimes an uninstall/reinstall of the Adminpak breaks things. Reregister
the needed Dlls on Windows Xp.

"regsvr32 <Dll name that needs to be registered>"

Dlls that needs to be registered for the GPO

scecli.dll
fdeploy.dll
fde.dll - for Folder Redirection
dskquota.dll - for Disk Quota Policy
gptext.dll - Responsible for Scripts and admin templates
iedkcs32.dll
appmgmts.dll
appmgr.dll - for Software Installation policy
gpedit.dll
wsecedit.dll - for security settings
ieaksie.dll - for IE Maintenance policies
ipsecsnp.dll - for IPSec policy
certmgr.dll - for Public key policy
rigpsnap.dll - Remote Installation Service Policy Snap-in

Hi - I have done the
"regsvr32 <Dll name that needs to be registered>" thing and the tools are working better

I am still missing some items under the user account properties -
I am missing all the exchange related tabs
there is no
Exchnage Genera
E-mail Addresse
Exchange Feature
Exchange Advanced

These four tabs are there in the win2k admin tool but not in the 2003 version
I see no way of turning them on
Any ideas? - thank
