There's supposed to be a command line version of the Server Manager MMC that should allow you to add/remove stuff with a script. See the following link for details. I've never messed with this although I've used sysocmgr in 2000/XP/2003 quite a bit. http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/10c24c6a-44e0-4226 -89f5-c2a0cec7d0111033.mspx?mfr=true Nice Dodgeball reference, by the way! J Regards, Jamie Nelson From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cruz, Jerome L Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 10:23 AM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] GPO Capability to Control or Install 'Windows Features' Has anyone looked at controlling the installation state of "Windows Features" with a Group Policy Object? With W2K'Ocho', there are tools to pre-activate any of the available 'Features' prior to the base build of an image, but what about afterwards and for many servers/client devices?
