Update GPO templates to manage Windows 8

You’ve added some Window 8 PCs and possibly Windows Server 2012 to your existing Windows Server 2008 R2 enterprise … okay so how do you access the additional features with Group Policy?

Looking at a Group Policy setting in Windows 8 Windows 8 GPO Blocking Connection Accounts … I got to thinking … I’m doing this from Windows Server 2012 … more realistically I will be adding Windows 8 machines to a Windows Server 2008 environment.

How do I update the group policy template files?

My only caveat … I have still to do the testing … will the new templates work with the old admin tools.
