Group Policy Settings Reference
Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7
This spreadsheet lists the policy settings for computer and user configurations included in the Administrative template files (admx/adml) delivered with
Windows Server® 2008 R2 and Windows® 7. The policy settings included in this spreadsheet cover Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2,
Windows Server 2008, [NAME] with SP1, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with SP2 or earlier service packs, Windows XP Professional with SP2
or earlier service packs, and Windows 2000 with SP5 or earlier service packs. These files are used to expose policy settings when you edit
Group Policy objects (GPOs) using the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
You can use the filtering capabilities included in this spreadsheet to view a specific subset of data based on one value or a combination of values that are available
in one or more of the columns. In addition, you can click Custom in the drop-down list of any of the column headings to add additional filtering criteria within that column.
To view a specific subset of data, click the drop-down arrow in the column heading of cells that contain the value or combination of values on which you want to filter,
and then click the desired value in the drop-down list. For example, to view a subset of policy settings that are available for Windows Server 2008 in the
Administrative Template worksheet, click the drop-down arrow next to Supported On, and then click At least Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
What's New
The spreadsheet contains three columns that provide more information about each policy setting's behavior related to reboots, logoffs, and schema extensions.
These columns are the following:
Reboot Required: A "Yes" in this column means Windows requires a restart before it applies the described policy setting.
Logoff Required: A "Yes" in this column means Windows requires the user to log off and log on again before it applies the described policy setting.
Active Directory Schema or Domain Requirements: A "Yes" in this column means you extend your Active Directory Schema before deploying this policy setting.
