Group Policy preferences announced at IT Forum

At IT Forum in Barcelona, Microsoft publicly announced the upcoming releases of Group Policy preferences and Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT).

Where Group Policy preferences will be included

Group Policy preferences, formerly known as PolicyMaker Standard Edition and PolicyMaker Share Manager, will be available to Microsoft customers in two ways. Preference extensions for creating and managing preference items will be integrated into the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) in:

  • Windows Server 2008
  • Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows Vista, available as a separate download shortly after the release of Windows Server 2008, will also work in a Windows Server 2003 environment

The client-side extensions (CSEs) for Group Policy preferences are included in Windows Server 2008, and will be available as a separate download for:

  • Windows Vista RTM and later
  • Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 and later
  • Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later

What Group Policy preferences can do for you

Group Policy preference items increase the manageability of Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP, and reduce the TCO of servers and client computers running those operating systems. With Group Policy preference items, you have:

  • Simpler configuration via common user interfaces, and reduced need to create and maintain complex configuration scripts.
  • Item-level targeting to give you more precise control over the application of preference settings
  • Flexibility for how preference items are applied – a Group Policy administrator can initially configure a preference item, but allow the end user to change the settings later
  • Richer configuration within an image, so you need fewer images
  • The ability to use Group Policy to manage:
    • Windows settings
      • Applications: Extensible for ISVs to create simple Group Policy preference settings for their applications.
      • Drive Maps: Create, modify, or delete mapped drives, and configure the visibility of all drives.
