Scenario
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Northwind Traders is an import/export company that has a main office and two branch
offices. The main office is located in Toronto. The branch offices are located in Vancouver
and Seattle. The main office has 2,000 users. Each branch office has 500 users.
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
All client computers run Windows 7 Enterprise. All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2.
All new servers are deployed by using Windows Deployment Services (WDS).
Northwind Traders has multiple Hyper-V servers. The Hyper-V servers are managed by
using Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).
The perimeter network contains a standalone server. The server has the Active Directory
Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS) service role installed. AD LDS is administered on
the server by using the Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell.
All virtual machines (VMs) access iSCSI-based storage by using a Microsoft iSCSI Initiator
installed on the VM.
Existing Active Directory/Directory Services
The network contains a single Active Directory forest named northwindtraders.com. The
forest contains five Remote Desktop servers. All Remote Desktop servers are in an
organizational unit (OU) named RD Servers.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Northwind Traders must meet the following technical requirements:
• Minimize server downtime.
• Ensure that you can recover all of the data hosted on the VMs.
• Ensure that you can perform bare metal restores of the Hyper-V servers.
• Minimize the number of times a server restarts when it is deployed.
• Monitor the CPU utilization, memory utilization, and disk utilization of all the servers
to analyze performance trends.
• Ensure that a specific set of Group Policy settings are App1ied to users who use
Remote Desktop to connect to the Remote Desktop servers. The settings must differ from
those App1ied when the users log on locally to their own computers.

This article discusses the Group Policy preferences that are new in Windows Server 2008 and how to
enable down-level computers to process these new items. Group Policy preferences are made up of
more than 20 new Group Policy client-side extensions (CSEs) that expand the range of configurable
settings in a Group Policy object (GPO). These new preference extensions are included in the Group
Policy Management Editor window of the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). The kinds of
preference items that can be created by using each extension are listed when New is selected for the
extension. Examples of the new Group Policy preference extensions include the following:
