No, management will have to be done from either 2008 or Vista with RSAT installed. There will be no GP Editor support for it on downlevel clients like 2003 or XP.

But I am trying to get my head around the management aspect. Now I could manage the settings from a server 2008 box, and I see that the RSAT will be needed for Vista, but what about management from an XP or Server 2003 box? Is there no management solution coming for those platforms? Will I be able to create manage GP preferences if I simply install the CSE's on a Server 2003 box?

My guess is yes but of course, there are some extensions (like Office app settings and Outlook profile stuff) that MS did not ship with GPP. I will see if I can confirm the question with MS generally.

Haven't tested it yet, but thought I would check with the group to see if anyone knows offhand.

Still no sign of RSAT though.

I have some software firewalls deployed in the field that I believe are blocking ports needed for proper application of policies.
