| Unable To find the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) after Vista SP1 install. |
| |
| Vista SP1 has changed the tools that Administrators use to manage Group. SP1 uninstall's the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) and GPEdit.msc will edit local Group Policy by default. An enhanced version of GPMC will be included in Windows Server 2008 as well as the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows Vista SP1 shortly after Windows Server 2008 is released. The updated GPMC will include new features such as Group Policy Preferences, Starter GPO's and search and filter capabilities. Click Group Policy Preferences & KB943729 for more. |
| System Restore Points and Shadow Copies are missing, after you install Vista SP 1. |
| |
| If you find that your system restore points or shadow copies are missing after you have installed Vista SP1, then the cause for this could be because you have installed the SP1 for Vista, on a computer that is low on available disk space. When you try to install the service pack on a computer that is low on available disk space, the installation process frees disk space by removing any existing system restore points and by creating a single new system restore point. One new system restore point is created immediately before the service pack is installed. This new system restore point captures the system state after any permanent prerequisite releases for the service pack are installed but before the service pack itself is installed. Therefore, you may be unable to restore the computer to the exact state the computer was in before you began installing the service pack. So its best to ensure that you have adequate disk space first. For more see. KB945681. |
