Thanks for the dead-on help for my issue. I was beginning to think that I had
a bad os installation.
I can use my XP system to run GPMC but I've been trying to standardize my
Group Policy management on a Vista system. I'm also very interested in
incorporating the Advanced Group Policy Management Tool into our GPO efforts.
Hope to see the new offerings for my system soon!
