An overview to Starter GPOs (or GPO Templates)

Kurt Roggen — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:42:41 GMT

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.
