[gptalk] Re: GPO for Power Management

Thanks Darren, the kb i read had xmllite as a pre-reg, and didn't mean service 
pack level, I'll have to keep that in mind.......

Prerequisites
XmlLite is required to successfully install the new Windows Server 2008 Group 
Policy preferences client-side extensions in Windows Server 2003 and in Windows 
XP.
