The lack of control of Windows 7 features via GP was less than amusing at Teched here last year. Obviously it was all about how good Win 7 was and during a session on Group Policy they harped on about how many new GP's there were.
They didn't mention that the Win 7 features and the new Group Policies often didn't match up :) -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

This is why we've seen some things decoupled - such as IIS, which comes with the OS but has been updated independently during the last several release cycles. We might see new GPs in a SP, but I doubt they'll add much in terms of functionality during a SP to _core OS_ features (and I consider AD and GP processing to be core OS, I haven't investigated this particular issue in the SP1 beta myself - not one of my particular interests).

It'll be in Update Rollup 2 to Feature Pack 1. ;-) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
