Today's session provided a general overview of the new client
manageability of Windows Vista.
* Some of the same Group Policy updated were mentioned in this session
* In regards to Update Management: fewer reboots (consolidate multiple
reboots into one)
* Patches can also be directly applied to images
* A new feature in Vista SP1 that Microsoft is working on is say you
leave your computer with documents, emails, etc up and go to bed. Well,
it's the second Tuesday and at 3:00am, your computer applies updates and
reboots. With this new technology, it will automatically (so they say)
return your computer to the way you left it when you went to bed the
night before
* Vista comes with a new Event Logging Infrastructure which include
email alerts, and event subscriptions
* Also in new Event Viewer, there is a viewer for every microsoft
service
* New task scheduler in Vista: New scheduling options, completely
scriptable, new task dashboard
* New feature: Realiabilty Analysis Console: this will allow you to
understand the reason behind crashes and hangs (requires MOM?)
