+Question: We have created the <filename>config.pol</filename> file and put it in the <emphasis>NETLOGON</emphasis> share.
+It has made no difference to our Win XP Pro machines, they just don't see it. IT worked fine with Win 98 but does not
+work any longer since we upgraded to Win XP Pro. Any hints?

+<emphasis>ANSWER:</emphasis> Policy files are NOT portable between Windows 9x / Me and MS Windows NT4 / 200x / XP based
+platforms. You need to use the NT4 Group Policy Editor to create a file called <filename>NTConfig.POL</filename> so that
+it is in the correct format for your MS Windows XP Pro clients.
