We have a 2008R2 DC with all fsmo roles. A 2003 DC server. The domain is server 2003 schema.Workstations from XP SP3 to Windows 8.
We setup a GPO for IE to push out trusted sites and favorites. At this point we are updating the object on the 2003 server, but it does not seem to be working when we update some items in the list. I have done some searching on this and it seems there are
some bugs in 2008 with a 2003 schema.We tried to make the changes on the 2008 server previously and had issues so we continued to modify in 2003 in the past.
Questions.
1 Should this work making the changes directly on the 2003 server in GP manager?
2 Do we need to load any updates on the server/clients? I read about a Group policy extensions patch from MS. If so where do I get this, and what systems does it need to run on?
3 Do we need to update the schema to 2008 in order to modify the GPOs on the 2008 server? Or just install some fixes to the server?
thank you
