Page 227: Correction To Table 5.5
---------------------------------
On page 227, Table 5.5 contains incorrect information. Please replace the table
with the following table:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Parameters: | |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Value | Description |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| /Target:{Computer | User} | Specifies that only User or only Computer
policy settings are refreshed. By default,
both User and Computer policy settings are
refreshed. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| /Force | Reapplies all policy settings. By default,
only policy settings that have changed are
applied. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| /Wait:{value} | Sets the number of seconds to wait for policy
processing to finish. The default is 600
seconds. The value '0' means not to wait.
The value '-1' means to wait indefinitely.
When the time limit is exceeded, the command
prompt returns, but policy processing
continues. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| /Logoff | Causes a logoff after the Group Policy settings
have been refreshed. This is required for
those Group Policy client-side extensions
that do not process policy on a background
refresh cycle but do process policy when a
user logs on. Examples include user-targeted
Software Installation and Folder Redirection.
This option has no effect if there are no
extensions called that require a logoff. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| /Boot | Causes a reboot after the Group Policy settings
are refreshed. This is required for those
Group Policy client-side extensions that do
not process policy on a background refresh cycle
but do process policy at computer startup.
Examples include computer-targeted Software
Installation. This option has no effect if
there are no extensions called that require
a reboot. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| /Sync | Causes the next foreground policy application to
be done synchronously. Foreground policy
applications occur at computer boot and user
logon. You can specify this for the user,
computer or both using the /Target parameter.
The /Force and /Wait parameters will be ignored
if specified. |

Page 759: Incorrect Information About Encryption Status In Table 17.2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 759, in Table 17.2, in the Encryption Status cell for "Later moved to the
folder or subfolders", change:
"Unchanged."
To:
"Moving unencrypted files into an encrypted folder will automatically encrypt
those files in the new folder."
Page 817: Windows 2000 Administration Tools Pack Not Supported On Windows XP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 817, under "Administrative Tools", it states that the Windows 2000
Administration Tools Pack (adminpak.msi) can be used on Windows XP. This is
incorrect. The Windows 2000 version of the Administration Tools Pack is not
supported on Windows XP. A Windows XP compatible version of the Administration
Tools Pack will not be available in Windows XP until the next version of Windows
2000 server ships.
Change:
"Domain administrators use administrative tools to create Active Directory
objects and containers on a domain controller. Users can create Active Directory
objects from a Windows XP Professional-based client if they have sufficient
permissions and the Windows 2000 Administration Tools has been installed
locally. The tools are available on the Windows 2000 Server operating system CD.
For more information about installing Windows 2000 Administration Tools, see
Windows 2000 Server Help. For more information about Active Directory objects,
see "Active Directory Logical Structure" in the Distributed Systems Guide of the
Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit."
To:
"This will not be available in Windows XP until the next version of Windows 2000
server ships. Until then, you can use the Remote Desktop feature to connect to a
Windows 2000 server running Terminal Services and the Windows 2000
Administration Tools Pack to remotely manage these servers. The Windows 2000
version of the Administration Tools Pack is not supported on Windows XP."
