truncated"
I was having some problems when editing a group policy created from an XP
SP3 machine .on windows 2000 server sp4
The Group Policy Management Console (GPMC)was complaining.when i edit it
(GP)on a windows2000 servers p4, I take this messages:
about text being to long in the [strings] section of the administrative
template.
The following entry in the [strings] section is too long and has been
truncated.

Thank You

Why do i get the following error msg when I try to edit or view the Group
Policy settings from my DC.

Administrative Templates
The following entry in the [strings] section is too long and has been
truncated.
If you enable any policy for the security page, it is strongly recommended
that you also configure policy to disable the security page from being
presented in the UI to prevent users from beliving that they can change their
security settings.\n\nYou can disable the security page using the
Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet

Domain Controller - Win2k Server SP4
Administrator workstation - Winxp SP3
will normally manage the GPO from the administrator workstation with GPMC.

Why do i get the following error msg when I try to edit or view the Group
Policy settings from my DC windows 2000 sp4 .
