<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Only Denis knows the exact details, but I expect that all he did
was to have a French version of Windows, installed RSAT, opened
the group policy editor and created a new GPO of that name (and
copied the resulting file from the sysvol).</p>

<pre>Hi, <o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>According to Denis, cc'd here, using a French RSAT appears to be<o:p></o:p></pre>
