Re: Need clarifications on registry-based policy settings and GP m

Hmm... that doesn't answer either of my questions. Both questions are valid,
even if I'm not translating anything. I'd appreciate any input on the
subject.

Hi All!

While translating "Deploying Group Policy Using Windows Vista"
[http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/5ae8da2a-878e-48db-a3c1-4be6ac7cf7631033.mspx?mfr=true]
article from English to Russian I ran across some terminology I need
additional clarfication on. I hope GP gurus would be able to figure out
what
the author was talking about :)

Specifically, there's a table in "Group Policy changes after migrating or
upgrading to Windows Vista" section of the article. There's a row titled
"Registry-based policy settings" in this table. In this row there are
three
points in the "Upgrade behavior" column:
• All policy settings and values under the Software\Policy registry key
are
migrated.
• Preference settings are not migrated.
• All of the policy settings are reapplied from the domain on first
restart
after first logon.

I'm not sure what the "preference settings" are (the second point).
Conesquently I'm not sure whose preference settings the author is talking
about. I'd appreciate any input on this issue.

And while I'm on this table, does anybody have an idea what "migration" is
in the context of this section? Generally, it's a pretty broad term, but
the
author apparently views "migration" as something opposite to "upgrade". In
my
understanding, "upgrade" means installing Vista over existing OS (e.g.
XP).
An opposite to the upgrade would be "clean installation", but the author
does
not use this term, and uses "migration" instead. Any clues?

Thanks for your time and attention to my questions!
