Group policy is a way to push down settings onto machines and users in a
Windows 2000 domain.
As far as rebooting and shuttong down the machine w/o logging in...the
default install of Windows 2000 Server (which is what was installed on
dt
but is *NOT* what will be installed on Pismere workstations -- those
will
have Windows 2000 Porfessional) does not allow the machine to be
shutdown/rebooted w/o logging in. However, there is a setting that
controls
this in the machine's local security policy. Someone should change that
setting so that poeple can shutdown/reboot the machine w/o logging in.
