There's some great stuff coming for GPOs in Vista - chat with the PM team...  (The link indicates 9:30am, but it's really 10am - should be fixed soon)...

 

"...the key areas are:

 

  • Improved network awareness
  • Multiple Local GPOs
  • ADMX files (replacement for ADM files) and the central store
  • GPMC integration
  • (last but absolutely not least) a multitude of new policy settings across the OS (for new and updated components)

 

...we’ll have participation across all disciplines (dev, test, UA and PM).

 

The chat is scheduled for 10am Thursday 9th February and you can find more details here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/chats/default.mspx"
