Default SBS2011 Group Policies and WMI Filters

Today I noticed that a lot of upgraded SBS 2011 Sites (from migrated 2008 and 2003) that we come across have a lot of old group policy settings.    I therefore thought it might be helpful for some of you SBS admins to have this information to hand. These are the default SBS2011 Group Policy settings….  if you spot any mistakes, drop me a line and I will update.

 

WMI Filters

Anything outside of the above is non-standard and may well be causing you issues on your new SBS2011 Domain!   The most common issue we have found is update services issues.
