Manage Windows 7 workstations with SBS 2008

Windows Small Business Server 2008 (SBS 2008) Group Policy can manage Windows XP and Windows Vista workstations. Although Windows 7 is supported, Windows 7 specific Group Policy entries are not present by default. They can be easily added from any Windows 7 machine:

  • On any up to date Windows 7 workstation open folder:
    C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions
  • Copy all files to following folder on SBS 2008 Server
    C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\<domain-name>\Policies\PolicyDefinitions
    If folder PolicyDefinitions doesn’t exist – create it.
