The Client Side

The only computers that are subject to and are able to use Group Policy are Windows 2000–based computers. Client computers running Windows NT 4.0 receive System Policy as administered through the System Policy Editor (Poledit.exe). Client computers running Windows 98 or Windows 95 are also managed using System Policy compatible with those operating systems. You can only use the .pol files created using Poledit.exe on computers running the operating system on which the .pol file was created. Windows NT–based computers cannot use Config.pol (Windows 98 or Windows 95 System Policy), nor can Windows 98–based or Windows 95–based computers use NTConfig.pol (Windows NT System Policy).
