1 edit | Again, there are Group Policy objects that can be, and are, managed outside of Group Policy.
Beginning with SP2, the firewall exceptions became a managed object. This however does not mean that you have group policy. You cannot have Group Policy if you are using a non-Active Directory joined workstation; and it is completely unsupported under XP Home in any case.
Do not let the overlap between how policy objects are internally implemented, and managed, and Group Policy as a formal feature of the OS. They are not the same thing.
For example, using the Group Policy Editor (GPEDIT) in XP Pro is a big convenience. However, that is not implementing Group Policy. I can understand the confusion. Certainly the internals of the process are the same anytime one makes a registry tattoo that effects all user accounts on a computer. That is the internals of how Group Policy works as well. But these internal considerations do not add up to Group Policy as being active under XP Home.
