The Network Map screen reports "Mapping is disabled by the group policy".
The Vista machine is a member of a 2003 domain. What GPO would control this?

Thanks!

Mike

I'd hazard a guess that this falls under the Network Location Awareness
stuff.

I found the following web site with the settings to change in Group Policy.
They worked for me.
