Configuring Windows Vista for Agentless Testing

Agentless testing for Windows Vista Endpoints requires that these endpoints
be configured from a domain controller. The following steps assume that:
■ A Windows domain on your network has Windows 2003 Server R2
(SP2) domain controller installed
A Group Policy Management console is installed on your network
■
Details on setting up the domain controller can be found at:

nologies/directory/activedirectory/stepbystep/domcntrl.mspx
Details on setting up the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) can be
found at:

nologies/directory/activedirectory/stepbystep/gpmcinad.mspx#EFE
Group policies may be applied at many different levels (for example, domain,
subnet, OU, security group, and so on). A discussion of selecting the appro-
priate level is beyond the scope of this document. This section describes the
Group Policy Object applied only at the domain level (affecting all members
of the domain).
Agentless testing of endpoints with Vista Home Edition is not supported. By
design endpoints with Microsoft Windows Home Editions installed cannot be
added to domains.

Defining the Agentless Group Policy Object

To define the Group Policy Object:
1. Log in to your Windows 2003 Server.
