HI all,

on the client run rsop or gpresult /v to see if the GPO is applied correct. Also you should not use the same OU/GPO for XP and Vista. Create different ones, either configured fgrom a Vista machine or XP with GPMC installed.

If you use some of the new features coming within 2008/vista like Group policy preferences you have to install the Client side extensions.
