This paper takes an introductory look at the new categories of Group Policy, but anyone moving to Windows Server 2008 technologies would do well to consider the changes and additions to the existing policy categories, too.

Some of the more interesting new categories include:

• Network Access Protection


• Device installation control


• Removable storage restrictions


• Power management


• Printer driver installation delegation


• Hybrid hard disk


• Troubleshooting and diagnostics


• User Account Control
