I have a windows 2008 R2 domain but most of the clients are WINXP. I'm trying to create a policy to disable certain winxp services from running but I notice that those services don't exist on the win 2008 group policy. So how can i disable those services on all the workstations. There are 400 computers and I need to disable alerter, help and content, indexing service, and a few others. I do not want to do this by hand. IS there a place where I can download winxp services ADMX templates?
