-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.
-==Scripted Deployment==
-'''Download''': [http://www.wolftech.ncsu.edu/support/files-wiki/f/f3/Install-GPPCSE.zip GPPCSEs Deployment Script & Files]
-A bug was discovered that prevents the GP Preferences patch from being deployed via Windows Update when you setup a new system from a Windows XP image w/SP3 integrated.  To work around this issue you can create a GPO with a startup script that contains the contents of the zip file above.  The script included will deploy the GP Preferences client to your computers, if needed.  All you will need to do is modify the 'strBasePath' script variable to reflect the UNC path of the directory where you stage the script.
-. Create a policy to deploy the GP Preferences client<br />
-. Edit the policy: Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts -> Startup -> Properties<br />
-. Click Show Files...<br />
-. Copy the contents of the archive (download above) to the startup folder<br />
-. Edit InstallGPPCSE.vbs<br />
-. Find this line: Dim strBasePath : strBasePath = "\\SERVER\SHARE\" 'NB! with trailing backslash!<br />
-. Change strBasePath variable to the UNC path where the script files are stored<br />
-. Add 'InstallGPPCSE.vbs' as the startup script for the policy.
