How do I/can I install Windows 8 policies on a Windows Server 2008 system.

Hi,
I'm currently working on a customer server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2. They are in the process of upgrading their machines to Windows 8.
The problem they have is they don't want all the extra tiles on the metro screen, so I've exported a template of how they want it to look. The problem I am having at the minute is installing the windows 8 group policy settings on their server, so that I can
set the start screen template for all domain machines.
How do I correctly install the Windows 8 policies on the system? I've got them downloaded as admx files from the MS website ready to go, but it's not as straight forward as I imagined.
Thanks in advance,
Kealan Riding-Smith

Hello,
you can add the .admx and .adml file for the language to your policydefinitions folder BUT the GPMC must be used from the new OS instead Windows server 2008 R2.

  • How many laptops can I install on with only one lightroom 6 license? (not cc version)

    I read from somewhere that one creative cloud  account can be used on two different devices, but what about the lightroom 6 version?
    If I pay $149 for lightroom 6, how many laptops can I install on? I now have one windows laptop and one mac.
    Thanks for helping.

    I selected yours as the correct answer because of the webpage you provided, but I cannot understand that what "only use it on one computer at a time".
    If the software is for offline use, how does it know if I'm running it on another computer?

  • On how many computer can I install Premiere Elements (one licens)

    On how many computer can I install Premiere Elements (one licens)

    number
    What are the computer operating systems involved? Are you installing from installation files (from online download purchase) or from installation disc
    (from purchase in boxed packaging)? Answers to those questions would probably get you the best possible answer to your question.
    If installation files.....
    You are not going to be able to install a Premiere Elements Windows purchased serial number on a Mac computer or a Premiere Elements Mac
    purchased serial number on a Windows computer.
    If installation discs...
    Box packaging typically comes with two installation discs....one for Windows and one for Mac. In this type of situation, typically you use one
    serial number for them both. If that is the case, then the following applies...
    Adobe allows you to use the same purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. And, you do not use them at the same time.
    If you are dealing with two computers with the same operating system, then you should be able to use that same purchased serial number for that operating system on no more than 2 of your computers. Again, you do not use them at the same time.
    Please let us know if any questions or need clarification.
    Thanks.

  • I bought the Creative Cloud, how many times can I install it?

    After purchasing the Creative Cloud package, up to how many computers can I install the software?

    You have two activations with your membership. If you install on a third machine and activate you will be shown a dialog asking you to deactivate one or both of the other two computers.
    From the Creative Cloud FAQ here http://www.adobe.com/en/products/creativecloud/faq.html:
    On how many computers can I install the software I download from Creative Cloud?
    You can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information.

  • How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements 12 on?

    How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements 12 on?

    No, if you mean can you copy the installed version over. That never works because PSE is a highly complex program that strews stuff all over your hard drive and you can never hope to find all the bits and bobs. You should deactivate it on the computer you no  longer need, then install from scratch on the new machine.

    Hiya, i am new to the latest version of creative cloud. Wonder if i can install creative cloud in both mac and PC? And up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud? If I am going to graduate in a few months time, can I still use student discount to purchase the one year package and pay it off in one go? Thanks! !

    Sure , you can install on both Mac as well as PC .
    Max activation allowed = 2 computers.
    Student discounted price will be valid for one year.
    Later you can purchase with different Adobe ID , with valid proof of eligibility .
    Once you had purchased yearly prepaid subscription , it will not expire for another one whole year , whether you are still student or finished graduation. It will expire after year.

    Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID.
