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.

Xp was better, i dunno why i moved to Vista …
I am running Vista Home Basic 32.

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

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!

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
