I was thinking that group policy are supposed to affect all users connecting to my server but it doesnt work. It is supposed to do that or it just affect the policy on the server??? I have read the dOc but they dont say alot of thing. Anyway, im french, maybe its why i dont understand

I have try to deploy the adminTool on clients computer using the software installation snap-in but he just deploy on the server and not on the client computer (i have just one client eheheh)

Group policy affects:

1. Local machine
2. Selected remote machine (you connect to it and set its policy manually)
3. Domain wide

If you have an AD domain, then you can set a domain wide policy that will propgate to all its members. Do you use AD?

AD is Active Directory. It sounds like you should probably pick up a book on this subject and start from there. That way, you get a nice, clear picture of what is going on.
