Nope, nor will you be able to create them, since they are invisible to any
tool other than the new GPMC (GPOE?) included in the RSAT tools.  RSAT is
included with Server 2008, and we're waiting for the downloadable version
which can only be installed on Vista SP1.  So, in order to use GPP, you will
need at a minimum:  the extensions deployed out to your client systems (XP,
Vista, and server 2003), one Vista SP1 management workstation, and the RSAT
tools.

 

Probably ought to mention, that GPP is only applicable for Group Policy, not
Local Policy.

Okay, so I understand that the CSE's will need to be installed on an XP or
Server 2003 in order for the preferences to be applied. 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?

 

Thanks,

 

Michael

Good question Jamie. 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.

Will the GP Preference extensions process old PolicyMaker based settings?
Haven't tested it yet, but thought I would check with the group to see if
anyone knows offhand.

Thanks for the update Scott. I heard some rumor about the 27th for this
stuff formally appearing on the various download sites, so maybe tomorrow.

Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions are now live at the MS
Download Center.  Still no sign of RSAT though.

If this is not Vista clients, then the following should cover it:

 

ICMP

LDAP: TCP 389

SMB: TCP 445

RPC Port Mapper: TCP 135 and then >1024 after the RPC connection is set up.

Kerberos (Can't remember if this is UDP or TCP in all cases but Port 88)

Quick and easy question: What TCP port(s?) does GPO traffic traverse? I have
some software firewalls deployed in the field that I believe are blocking
ports needed for proper application of policies.
