Yes, you need to install the extensions on XP to utilize GPP.

Struggling to find for sure whether I need to install anything on machines with XP SP3 to be able to use Group Policy Preferences in Group Policies? Does anyone know for sure please? I keep seeing KB943729 mentioned. ________________________________ MIRA Ltd Watling Street, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV10 0TU, England Registered in England and Wales No. 402570 VAT Registration GB 100 1464 84 The contents of this e-mail are confidential and are solely for the use of the intended recipient.
