Deploying Policies for Windows NT 4.0 Machines
By default, a Windows NT 4.0-based workstation checks the NETLOGON
share of the validating domain controller for the user’s logon domain. It is
therefore critically important that replication of the NTconfig.pol file take place
among the domain controllers performing authentication. If a Windows NT 4.0-
based workstation does not locate the policy file on its validating domain con-
troller, it will not check any others.
You have another option when enforcing policies. The UpdateMode registry
setting, configurable through the System Policy Editor, forces the computer to
retrieve the policy file from a specific location (expressed as a UNC path), re-
gardless of the user who logs on.
To retrieve the policy file from a specific location:
1. Open either the specific machine policy or the Default Computer policy,
and navigate through the
Network
category and
System policies update
subcategory to reach the
Remote update
option.
2. Check the
Remote update
box.
