Remember that you from now on need to administrate Group Policy from these servers. Start - Run - "ServerManagerCmd.exe -i GPMC".

In Windows 2003 x32 and x64 the Software registry keys are located e.g. like this : <strong>HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug</strong>. In a Windows 2008 x64 environment they are located here : <strong>HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug </strong> I don't know when I'll have time to create new W2K8x64 templates, but hopefully they will be finished after the summer vacation. Hi Glenn,

In a Windows 2008 x64 environment they are located here : HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug

I don’t know when I’ll have time to create new W2K8×64 templates, but hopefully they will be finished after the summer vacation.

Excuse my ignorance, but could you elaborate on why a loopback policy needs to be set and also expand a little on my farm running on 64bit 2008 and your statement "do not forget to add “WoW6432Node” if hive is in HKLM\Software."? Can you push me in the right direction to tie things up so I can use this? Thanks so much, Chris Thank you so much for compiling this into an ADMx for us!

Eric Hi Daniel,

You do not have to switch your AD to W2K8, you can administrate the policy’s with Windows Vista / Windows 7 with the RSAT tool installed.

If you have Citrix XenApp Enterprise license I would recommend using the Citrix Profile Management. Within policy you will need to remove run, hide drives, disable registry, disable manage computer e.g. Take a look at this great blog <a href="http://www.grouppolicy.biz/" rel="nofollow">Group Policy Center</a>.
