By default vista home edition doesn’t have group policy edition i.e gpedit.msc.If you want to use group policy edition in vista home edition follow this procedure.
Go to start—>Run—>Type regedit click ok
Now you need to navigate the following key from left pane
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa
Create the following DWORD value (if it doesn’t exist):
LmCompatibilityLevel
and set it to:
0 – Clients use LM and NTLM authentication, but they never use NTLMv2 session security. Domain controllers accept LM, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication.
1 – Clients use LM and NTLM authentication, and they use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controllers accept LM, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication.
2 – Clients use only NTLM authentication, and they use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controller accepts LM, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication.
3 – Clients use only NTLMv2 authentication, and they use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controllers accept LM, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication.
4 – Clients use only NTLMv2 authentication, and they use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controller refuses LM authentication responses, but it accepts NTLM and NTLMv2.
5 – Clients use only NTLMv2 authentication, and they use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controller refuses LM and NTLM authentication responses, but it accepts NTLMv2.

Hello: This didn’t work for me. I already had LmCompatibilityLevel, with 3 as the value. gpedit.msc didn’t work. I changed LmCompatibilityLevel to 0 (as I had it with XP Proffesional in other computer) and gpedit.msc still dind’t work, the same after rebooting. Perhaps it can be because my Vista is OEM? Bye
I managed to update the local GP on a Vista Home/ Premium system.
(in order to do this you’ll need to turn off UAC and the firewall, then connect using another XP Pro or Vista Business PC, and update the GP using their snap-in)
It won’t work though! You can update the policy alright, but it won’t apply!
What a flamming waste of time!
I’ve Vista Home Premium 64 and was experiencing the same issue.
By checking with a colleague who’s running Vista Business, I noticed his entry was 1 and not 3 nor 0.
Put 1 into that registry key, restarted and the issue is solved.
hope this helps,
regards
Stefano
any possibility someone can please create a reg edit script for this ? and upload it somewhere ?
Yeah!
well said, please create a registry editor’s script for that or be more specific, what we should do to start group policy editor?? and in that DWORD value it should be hexadecimal or decimal.
