GP settings cannot be edited - different Windows version

[mschlawin]

Got it. The migration idea would probably work, too.

What I did was delete my current student policy in ZCM. I created a new one and edited it. Then I closed the Microsoft gp management console and clicked upload. But before I confirmed the upload, I noted where the .zip file was located that it was about to upload. I opened the .zip and deleted everything and copied in the Adm, Machine, and User folders, along with gpt.ini from my Zen 7 server. I closed the .zip and uploaded and it worked!

I'm guessing that is probably what the migration utility does all automatically.

Thanks for your help!

Matt

It might work if you edit the policy on a windows xp sp3 with console 1
in the zdm 7 environment, save it and then migrate it to ZCM.
