  • Starter Group Policy Objects available to download

    A few weeks ago when I was presenting the Windows Server 2008 overview session at our launch event in Ghent I talked about the fact that with Windows Server 2008 and the new admx Group policy administrative templates we would be introducing something called "Starter Group Policy Objects".

    Yesterday we released two of those starter GPO to let you apply Group Policies for Windows Vista and Windows XP SP2 or later.

    The Starter GPO's in the Windows Vista package are based on recommended settings for the Specialized Security— Limited Functionality (SSLF) and Enterprise Client (EC) environments, as documented in the Windows Vista Security Guide (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=74028).

    The Starter GPO's in the Windows XP SP 2 or later package are based on the same settings for the same environments, as documented in the Windows XP Security Guide (
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=14839).

    # An overview to Starter GPOs (or GPO Templates) @ Friday, April 11, 2008 8:42 AM

    A while ago, I've blogged about the "Start GPOs" concept as Group Policy base templates and today a first set of downloadable templates (Start GPOs) are made available.

    Starter Group Policy objects (GPOs), introduced in Group Policy (GPMC) for Windows Server 2008, are collections of configured Administrative template (.admx) policy settings that you can use to create a live GPO.

    You can use one Starter GPOs package to create live GPOs that can be applied to clients running Windows Vista; the other package can be used to create live GPOs that can be applied to clients running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and later.  Each of the two packages (Windows Vista and Windows XP SP2) in this download contains four starter GPOs.
