Can I test Wireless GPO settings on XP client?

On the following url it points to Active Directory GPO settings for
controling wireless settings. Does anyone know if I can see and these on the
XP professional client? I don't have access to enough horespower to install
2003 server just to try them out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
This functions are related to Windows 20003 as a server to control the
WEireless Client. WinXP is Not a server OS it does not have these
capacities.

thanx for the responses...

I was told that if the gpo wireless settings were just templates that I
could load them onto my laptop and test them without messing around with the
AD server.

Is this possible for the gpo wireless objects?

Unfortunately we are running AD 2000 and they want me to find out two things:

1) Do we absolutely need 2003 server or can we load the Wireless GPO
templates into AD 2000 (we currently have win2003 templates loaded into
win2000 AD but we cannot see the wireless settings as shown in the url i
included above)

2) How do we load/install these settings on the server? (I looked as per
the url above even on one of our 2003 servers I cannot see the wireless gpo
settings)
