Re: Client Side Extensions (Server 2008 Question)

Also I read something on microsoft's site about my first question but I'm
still unclear on it....will it mess up existing GPOs since the new
management interface is much different has settings for vista?

Also what would be the best way to deploy the client side extensions since
they are EXE files. Create a zap with some kind of command switch for the
install?

I downloaded the client side extensions for Windows XP and have been
testing them out with my Windows 2008 test box.

Question 1: at this page:

http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Group-Policy-related-changes-Windows-Server-2008-Part3.html

He says you all you need to use this is vista or server 08 with the remote
tools...

Am I to understand that I don't need to even have a SINGLE domain
controller at all upgraded to server 2008 to use the client side extension
features like preferences (map drives, shortcuts etc)

Question 2: I notice when using the map drive extension that if you give
a drive a name and have say 3 drive mappings specified on the windows xp
client all of the sides will be named what the last drive name was
specified as. Is this a known issue or is there anywhere I can report
this?

Thanks in advance,

John W
