Using the Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95 System Policy Editor (159936)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q159936 SUMMARY
You can use the Windows NT and Windows 95 System Policy Editors
(Poledit.exe) interchangeably to create policy files for and on different
operating systems.
MORE INFORMATION
The Windows NT System Policy Editor can run on both Windows NT version 4.0
and Windows 95, but cannot run on previous versions of Windows NT. The
Windows 95 System Policy Editor runs on only Windows 95. However, you must
run System Policy Editor on the operating system for which you intend to
create policy files.
For example, if User1 uses Windows 95 and User2 uses Windows NT
Workstation, run System Policy Editor on Windows 95 to create User1's
system policy file, and then run System Policy editor on Windows NT
Workstation or Windows NT Server to create User2's system policy file.
Although Windows NT Server version 4.0 provides .adm files for both the
Windows NT and Windows 95 platforms, the files should be loaded only on the
appropriate operating system you are creating policy files for. For
example, when creating system policy files on Windows NT, load Winnt.adm,
and when creating system policy files on Windows 95, load Windows.adm.
Common.adm can be used with both operating systems.
Note: Windows NT Workstation does not include System Policy Editor. To
run System Policy Editor under Windows NT Workstation, install Poledit.exe
from the Windows NT Workstation Resource Kit.
