Use group policy to manage Windows 8 on SBS 2011
I have the latest updates installed on my Windows 8 tablets and on my sbs 2011 server. I still cannot access some of the settings to manage Windows 8. For example, I've read a few blogs that show how to disable the lock screen in Windows 8 using group policy, but when I go to do it on my sbs 2011 server, that option is not there. Am I missing something?
Hi,
You can download RSAT for Windows 8 from below link.
RSAT : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972
One you have downloaded RSAT for Windows 8 you need to open GP manager on you computer.
You should create a new GPO for windows 8 machines and the specific setting that you are after is under the below section within the GPO.
