IPsec policy in XP Home?I've used gpedit.msc to create and assign IPsec policies on domain and
workgroup computers. But does anyone know if IPsec policies can be configured in XP Home? Thanks... In news:eD0b3wzTFHA.2940@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl, D.P. Roberts <dprobe***@pbride.com> had this to say:My reply is at the bottom of your sent message: > I've used gpedit.msc to create and assign IPsec policies on domain and I'm playing with a laptop with XP Home on it while I'm in here today.

For instance you wanted, from the looks of things, to be able to use this through a domain and XP Home doesn't support true domain functions. (It's my understanding, and I may be wrong, that even using the TweakUI function to logon to a domain doesn't actually give all the abilities of logging on to a domain.)

This is exactly what I was after - thanks! Do you happen to know if IPsec policy can also be used in earlier versions of Windows?
