Group Policies - Specific GPOs and Settings for Windows 7
Posted on 2012-12-21
Hello Experts,
I could use a real GPO guru's help here. I'm looking for specific GPOs settings and options that are new for Windows 7 only. Understanding that Group Policies have been around a long time, I need to know which NEW GPOs and their settings have been introduced as new for Windows 7.
I'm researching what GPO options are available for Windows 7 workstations vs. what is already available for Windows XP and Vista workstations.
If I'm not being real clear in what I'm asking, as I may be asking it wrong, please let me know and I'll be happy to clarify. Thanks Experts!
