Office 2000 System Policy Reference

Client Computer Requirements for Using System Policies

Client computers must meet the following requirements to use system policies:

• Operating system

  Windows 95/98 or Windows NT Workstation 4.0 or later. System policies are not supported for the Windows 3.1 and Macintosh operating systems.

• User profiles

  Client computers must have user profiles enabled.

• Group policies

  If you want to set group policies, the group policy capability must be installed on each client computer. For more information about group policies, see the resource kit for your Windows operating system.

• Network distribution

  For automatic downloading of policies over networks running Windows NT Server, Client for Microsoft Networks must be specified as the primary network logon client, and the domain must be defined on the client computers.

Note   By default, Windows 95/98 and Windows NT Workstation 4.0 or later automatically download system policies from the appropriate network server. To change to manual downloading, see the resource kit for your client operating system.
