Windows 2000 Group Policies

K, I'm an NT guy, who upgraded our departmental server to win2k a few weeks ago. Now, I'm trying to set up group policies for our domain, however, to my greatest surprise, win2k no longer uses NT style group policies. Instead, it uses all this active directory stuff, which drives me crazy. The problem I have, is when I try to use Win2k's new group policy editor, it gives me a bunch of options, however, I can't find a way to specify which users will the policy apply to. Now, can anyone help out a fellow admin?
 
Go to the control panel>users and passwords>advanced tab>click on advanced>here you can see all of your users and what group they are in.
 
Yeah, but inside group policies console, I couldn't find a way to set which users or user groups the policy applies to.
 
I think all you have to do is right click on the group you want the policy to apply and go to properties then select the policy.
 
This actually sounds like a good solution. Thanks, I'm gonna give it a shot tonight. Damn, gotta love terminal services, I'm gonna fix it over the weekend from my house, and my boss will think that I'm a hard worker.
 
Ok, I just went to users and computers panel, however, upon going to properties to a particular user and/or group, I couldn't find any way to specify a policy. As of now, I'm still clueless how to match group policies to the appropriate users, that this policies should be applied to.
 
I assume you're running Active directory.
Then Go to administrative tools, Active directory users and computers. Right click on the server, and click properties. Click on the group policy tab. Then click on the group policy you want to assign to a group. click properties then go to the security tab. Add the user or group you want this policy to apply to and then make sure the apply group policy box is checked. That should do it for you.

 
ok, so we have a few win2k workstations and all our servers are still NT4. I've been running on my workstation for awhile with no problems, but now I'm setting up our sales staff with win2k, and trying to get the right groups assigned to them. The problem is:

When I'm copying thier old profile onto the new computer and assigning the "permitted to use" option, I cannot figure out how to get our domain to show up in the "look in" drop down box, so that i can pick the user's proper network rights... I can't find anything in help about this. Any tips or bumps in the right direction would be VERY APPRECIATED. Thanks.
