This seems to solve the problem with the "Windows could not connect to Group Policy Client services" error pop-up: http://youtu.be/4m5KEmckWK4

It would be nice if MS could look into this issue and comment.

Caution! This Update seems to corrupt Windows 7. See e.g. here:

With ths version 8 of RDP printers do not redirect on windows 2000 Terminal Server. There are not even any system event messages!

No thin client support, which you would think would be the most likely target of the update. I guess they want you to buy Win 8.

Why do we lose Aero Glass Remoting and Shadow command on remote Windows 7 PCs after installing the RDP 8.0 update. This is so unacceptable that I refuse to install it on any Windows 7 computers.

We are having an issue on W7 SP1 with GPsvc not starting after installing kb2592687. It appears to change the GPsvc accout to GPSvcGroup and this causes failure for the service until the security entries in registry are added for GPsvcGroup.

Do you have any reason as to why we would be experiencing this behavior?

Hi! I'm a Mac user. Are you planning to release a RDP 8 compatible client for Mac OS X?

The KB2574819 and KB2592687 have caused serious problems for our end users.

KB2574819 - displays the annoying "website is trying to connect" message - We need a way to disable this

KB2592687 - disables monitoring an active session of another user remotely by using the Shadow command (Remote Control) - We need either need this enabled or need a new method to accomplish shadowing without the shadowed users knowledge (remote assistance requires the shadowed users knowledge)

Can you please let us know how we can resolve these issues?

We are currently having to back out both of these updates in order to keep our customers running.

You people need to have your head examined! Who ever thought it was a good idea to have this update display a warning (“A website is trying to start a remote connection.”) everytime you connect using the ActiveX should be fired. Why don't you provide a way to turn this ANNOYING message off?
