Yes... * No more SYSVOL bloat as all Administrative Templates are stored in a central location * For domain environments a central store can be created so that ADMX/ADML files are NOT stored (which is the default) with EACH GPO (for both local and domain). * Results in less replication traffic for the SYSVOL and less storage is needed * This central store MUST created in "..\SYSVOL\Domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions" and is thus NOT available by default. (Create on the PDC FSMO!) * Can be used in EVERY domain environment (W2K/W2K3/W2K7/etc.) * Can ONLY be managed with the GPMC and GPO Editor from Vista and Longhorn * GPMC and GPO Editor will first try to use the central store and then the server's local store * Just Copy %WINDIR%\PolicyDefinitions to ..\SYSVOL\Domain\Policies and create your own language specific sub directories if needed (EN-US will be available by default)
