    Group Policy Preferences and IE8

    Just a quicky, 2K3 servers, XP network and CES's installed. Vista machine for me and I'm using the RSAT.

    My question is in GP prefenences I can create preferences for IE 6 and 7. Will it work with IE 8? If not how do I make it?

    You need to use the ADMX file that is included when you download IE8 and install it on a client. Use the ADMX file to create GPO for IE8

    If you install IE8 on your server it will also add the GP options for IE8.

    IE8's on the servers (and my machine). I thought the Group Policies were loaded from the ADM(X) files?, Aren't Group Policy Preferences seperate?

    Either way I still only seem to have the ability to create preferences for IE 5/6 and 7. There are some minor differences in the optiuons screen in 8, notably in the tabs section.
