Hey guys, thanks in advance for your help with my question.
I have two Domain Controllers. DC1 (2003) & DC2 (2008R2). I have two client machines. CL1 (8.1Ent) & CL2 (2012). I have just now updated the Central Store on my 2008R2 Domain Controller with all of the 8.1 and 2012R2 ADMX/ADML files.
I have read that I will not be able to apply these new policies until I have a 2012R2 Domain Controller on the network, unless I use an 8.1 or 2012R2 client machine to administer these new policies. Is this true? I ask because I can see the new policies when I open Group Policy Management on my Windows 7 machines. Am I good to go? Is my domain ready to apply these new policies to my 8.1 laptops, even though I do not have a 2012R2 DC yet?
Thanks!
