"Group Policy Loopback" missing from GP editor

[Dimarc67]

Hi. I have a Windows Server 2003 network with two Domain Controllers, five member servers, and about 50 clients all running XP SP2.

I'd like to enable Cross-Forest Group Policy processing with the domain of a sister company. A full two-way trust has already been created and has been working well for about a year now.

However, when I create a GPO and browse to "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy", the GPO "User Group Policy loopback processing mode" is NOT listed on either domain controller.

Is there a particular GPO template that needs to be installed for this object??

By the way, configuring the GPO editor to display preferences in addition to true policies, as outlined here:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...ns/784f8313-804b-4656-ab14-c5cf576fc30f.mspx,

does not cause the missing setting to appear.

Any other suggestions?

Nevermind!

Microsoft's article at

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...ons/784f8313-804b-4656-ab14-c5cf576fc30f.mspx

is INCORRECT! (Who'd've thunk it???)

The setting is found under COMPUTERConfiguration, NOT User Configuration as specified in the MS material. :::sigh:::
