974266 Group Policy Preferences client-side extension hotfix rollup

943729 Information about new Group Policy Preferences in Windows Server 2008
This hotfix rollup fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
  • You cannot create a Group Policy Preferences folder when the target path is a Distributed File System (DFS) path.
  • Item-level targeting for the security group does not recognize nested groups for computer objects.
  • When you configure item-level targeting for Group Policy Preferences to match a registry value, the match fails.
  • The Group Policy Preferences data source name (DSN) requires a password if a user name is specified in the DSN connection information. After you apply this hotfix rollup, you can use a blank password in the DSN connection information.
  • You experience a significant delay when you log on to an Active Directory site that has a read-only domain controller (RODC). This issue occurs when you implement Item-Level Filtering for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) by using Group Policy Preferences.
  • Group Policy Preferences cannot be deployed on a printer when the printer owner is not specified as "System" or "Administrators."
  • When you configure item-level targeting for Group Policy Preferences by using Terminal Services, item-level targeting fails.  
  • A memory leak occurs in the Group Policy Preferences client every time that item-level targeting is processed.

File Information
