Group Policy ADM server update

I upgraded to XP Service Pack 2 and tried to uploaded the
Group Policy to the server to reflect the new Firewall
settings. I ran the ADM update on the server and it
seemed to stop the error regarding "truncating" when you
use the XP SP2 Group Policy. I can administrer the Group
Policy (XP SP2) from the XP SP2 station using the Group
Policy Object Editor. The policy is correct and works as
it should in our Domain regardin the firewall and the
settings. I can go into the Group Policy Object Editor
on the DC (XP SP2 Policy) and set the settings and it
works the same as when I open it with the XP SP2 station.
My problem comes when I go into the Group Policy
Management on the server that shows all the Domain
policies, if I choose the XP SP2 mentioned above and view
the settings tab for that policy it shows the Firewall
settings but says "Display names for some settings cannot
be found. You might be able to resolve this issue by
updating the .ADM files used by Group Policy Management."
What do I need to do to correct this in Group Policy
Management on the server? Any help regarding this would
be greatly appreciated.

The Server needs "patched" to be able to handle the new design of the
templates. As it stands now, the templates and the Policy created from them
is only compatible with XPSP2.

842933 - "The following entry in the [strings] section is too long and has
been truncated" error message when you try to modify or to view GPOs in
Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Professional, or Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;842933

I suspect that the latest SP for Windows Server already includes this, but
the SP has been known to cause problems, so it you choose not to use the SP
then you will need the patch from the above link.
