I'm afraid that this might be a "problem" with Win2K and GW 5.5. I
have successfully deployed Win2k and WP10 and WP9 with GW6 and above,
but the older version seems problematic. Of course, you could try to
apply the latest service pack to GroupWise since you are not current,
but that's about the only suggestion I have.
