The supported bit is confusing when you add the AGMP bit to it. AGMP is installed by using a Launcher HTA and it plainly states that AGMP, which simply adds a "Change Control" node to GMPC, is supported on Windows 2008 x64. I wonder what the official line should be....... -----Original Message----- From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cruz, Jerome L Sent: 28 October 2008 19:11 To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: gpedit.msc As noted: It's not supported by Microsoft. I have all 64 bit DCs and I do sometimes need to edit from there. Example: to get the SID of an account correctly into a User Rights Assignment setting...if not done on a DC, you can get an account's "text" name added to the GPO instead of its SID... if the account is ever renamed...you break the GPO for the account. I can say it has worked just fine for specific Security settings I've used it on (Account Policies, User Rights Assignments, and Security Options only) and for Admin Template (registry) items. I have not tested other client extensions. Always test in the lab first to make sure it works. You're on your own with this one....
