Hello George,

Install GPMC SP1 on the XP client and manage the policy from that machine.

Hello George,

Yes, managing the group policy using GPMC on the Windows XP client can
provide Windows XP group policy settings in the Windows 2000 Server Domain.

1.    Get the GPMC SP1 from that link and install it on the Windows XP client.
2.    On the Windows XP client run the GPMC with the domain administrator
credential, under the specific container (site, domain or OU) right click
the group policy object and click Edit.
3.    In the Group Policy Object Editor, modify the policy settings as you
want.

For more introduction of using GPMC to administer group policies you may
refer to:

Would this enable me to apply them on a OU basis?

Hi,

Sure, you can create and link a GPO to the OU node under Domains--->Domain
name node.

Hi,

I tried to copy the group policy folder (C:\Windows\System32\Group policy)
from Windows Vista and paste it on my Windows XP sp2 computer. unfortunately
the changes that i made concerning USB restriction does not work. Is there a
way to restrict USB removable device in the Group policy of Windows XP or
upgrading it so that it has the same features as Windows Vista??

THANKS
