Now the real challenge is to build a relatively simple filter that will select only the server SKUs or just the client SKUs. It looks like you can do it for Vista/Longhorn but it progressively nastier as you go back to XP and W2K. Wook -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:

Hi Ulf Thanks for the thoughts. I can see there could be issues with trying to revert settings after an object is removed from one of the protected groups. I'm now leaning towards the idea of reporting, rather than taking wholesale action. It would be good to have a canned report that shows all
