Remote update
Description
:
Controls how policies are applied to a Windows NT 4.0-
based machine. With
UpdateMode
set to 1 (Automatic,
the default), Windows NT makes a connection to the
NETLOGON share of the validating domain controller in
the user’s context, and checks for the existence of the
policy file, NTconfig.pol. With
UpdateMode
set to 2
(Manual), Windows NT reads the string specified in the
NetworkPath
value, and checks that path for the exis-
tence of the policy file (in this case, the policy file name
should be included in the
NetworkPath
value). With
Up-
dateMode
set to 0 (Off), a policy file is not downloaded
from any system, and therefore is not applied.
