LOL...
That was one of my first challenges in learning the new Windows 2000
paradigm.....
There's "group policy" on a standalone machine.... but the computer ain't in
no group! Whassup???
In the grand scheme of things, there's a whole hierarchy where items can be
configured or not at various levels. The order in which they're applied
matters, unless there's an "enforce" or "no override" parameter.
The order is local (what you set on your own machine), then Site, then
Domain, then Organizational Unit(s).
So "group policy" on a local machine may or may not be part of a "group"
policy...
On a Win7 box, you can see whatcha got and where it's coming from with
RSOP.msc
