Group Policy Registry Wizard 2008 Server

[TKLOSE]

I am running a native 2008 domain and trying to set up some new group
policies for Vista clients. All policies are working well except this new
feature.

I have tried to set a Computer based Group Policy using the new Registry
feature located under Computer Configuration-Preferences-Windows
Settings-Registry.

Regardless if I create the registry item or use the registry wizard...it has
no effect on the client.

At first, Remote Registry service had to be enabled on the Vista Business
client, then I was able to use the wizard. I drilled down and created the
policy. I tried changing it from create, update, replace etc....no impact.

For example, in KB 929852, you can disable IPV6 using a new Registry DWORD
DisabledComponents. I would like to create the key and set the value to
ffffffff.

When I create this key manually on the client it works, so I ruled out the
key being invalid. Even after creating the key, a GP can not effect any
change to it.

Any ideas appreciated.

Hi,

I am running a native 2008 domain and trying to set up some new group
policies for Vista clients. All policies are working well except this new
feature.

... because you did not install 943729 on all clients
XP/Vista/2003, no clientside extension available f0r 2000.

I stumbled on that update just after I posted yesterday.
I applied the patch, and it is now working.

This may also resolve some of the other new GP features I noticed that were
not working as well. Back to the test lab.... Thanks
