asked on Group policy and windows 7 questions please
I am trying to introduce windows 7 machines into a 2003 domain alongside xp machines and need to clarify some things in regard to group policy. Will I have to manage all group policy settings, for xp and windows 7, from either a 2008 server or a rstat enabled windows 7 pc; meaning I can't use the old gpmc I use on xp?
Also, is it correct that I am copying .admx files to \\servername\c$\sysvol\dom
thanks for the assistance,
Maureen

Sorry I haven't had time to read everything yet but does this mean I can manage all the group policies with the rsat gpmc? Also, If I don't necessarily want the newest gp features do I have to copy over the .admx files?
Yes, you have to copy the admx files into a staging area of the sysvol and you have to administer them using the win7 machine and RSAT.

So I can administer .adm and .admx with rsat, right?
Rsat is not a tool, it is the collection of Server and directory management tools that you install on a client PC. It includes tools like the active directory snapins and GPMC amongst a large number of others
But directly, yes, install the RSAT and you will be able to manage your admx templates using the GPMC

Leetutor...I thinks an even three way split is fair. All of us contributed to complete the answer
