Group Policy Preferences
Posted on May 14, 2008, by Todd, under Group Policy, Windows Vista, Windows XP.
I have upgraded two of three domain controllers to Windows Server 2008 over the last couple months. The install went smooth and I will admit, Windows Server 2008 does seem like a rather nice OS. One of the new features of having a Windows Sever 2008 domain controller is the group policy preferences. Preferences will let you do things like create desktop shortcuts, printer mappings and map network drives along with many other things.

Just a word of advice, don’t turn on only allow programs in the Windows or Program Files folder to run. Well you can turn it on and see what happens.

Just a reminder, I am presenting on Thursday. I will be covering off Windows SteadyState but I will also be taking a look at the new password policies for Windows 2008. No longer are you tied to having on password policy per domain. Now, you can have a password policy at the OU level.
