Are You Migrating from Windows NT 4.0?
If the client computer is running Windows 2000 Professional, and if the computer and user accounts both belong to Windows NT 4.0-based domains you should continue to receive system policy. If the domain is Windows 2000, the computer/user will only receive Group Policy.
If the user account is in Active Directory and the computer account is in Windows NT 4.0, then the computer gets system policy and the user gets Group Policy—and vice-versa.
In addition, if you are planning on using sites, a site which is determined by which IP subnet a machine is in, Group Policy will only get defined if the machine is running Windows 2000 in a Windows 2000 domain with Active Directory.
Note: The local GPO processes regardless of the configuration. For details about how Group Policy is applied with various configurations, see Table 2 below. If your computer/user account is in a Windows 2000 domain that cannot be reached (for example, you are logging on with cached credentials), then all Group Policy processing, including the local GPO, will not be processed.
