Active Directory/Documentation/Clients & Deploying Preferences

In order for your computers to see and implement the GP Preferences that you set, you must have a client installed on all of your computers. The one exception to this is Windows Server 2008, which comes with the client builtin.

WSUS Deployment

In addition to installing the client via download, the GP Preferences client is also available as a patch via Windows Update and the WSUS server. On the WolfTech domain, all computers using the WolfTech WSUS server will automatically have this client installed. We recommend all other WSUS servers on the domain be configured to install this patch as well -- please note that the installation of this patch does not appear to require the computer be rebooted.
