Can Windows 2003 R2 Server manage Windows 7 Clients?

**Breckon** · 12-03-2010

I am using a Windows 2003 64 bit Server with some Windows 7 clients and I have been having issues settung up a Group Policy for these Windows 7 clients. I am not able to seem to turn things off, like not allowing them to bring up the task manager, etc. I have checked looking for some tips that let us know about managing Windows 7 clients from a Windows 2003 Server. Now, I am trying to find out if its possible to manage Windows 7 clients from Windows Server 2003. Any ideas?

You will need to create the Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Template files in Windows Vista. Check the article on how to do this - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929841
