Introduction and Group Policy Central Store

Today's post is our first Windows Server Community podcast! In this podcast, I'll be introducing myself ("Hello. Nice to meech'a.") as well as discussing some of the changes to Group Policy that we now have to understand with the introduction of Windows Vista.

In this podcast, we'll talk about how to create a Group Policy Central Store in your Active Directory's SYSVOL. We'll talk at a high level about the changes to the ADM file format, moving from an INI file format to an XML file format. And, we'll talk about one freeware tool in particular released by Microsoft that'll help you migrate your custom ADM files to the new ADMX file format.
