I'd like to help out on this as well, but not before I have the GPO
editing and apply stuff done on a single DC. But please, don't wait and
pick it up! I haven't looked at the full spec yet, but it seems you need

compression (Check for patents?) and the FRS for Windows 2000 and 2003
(!R2) replication.
