Vista Group Policy Issues

During my previous Vista RC 2 build, I had a problem starting Window Firewall and Terminal Services once I connected the computer to a domain. I eventually gave up looking and rebuilt the machine. I then exported the policies for review after attaching to a domain. This allowed me to see what policies were being changed by the domain. It turned out I had a secondary policy that was only supposed to be applied to my Application Pool accounts instead of all Authenticated Users. When I filtered that policy by the appropriate group and rebooted, all was right with the world.

I won't bother with detailed information on how to fix this, since I assume most people playing around with Server 2003 at this level will know about what I am talking. Contact me if you'd like more details, and I'll see what I can rustle up.

Here were my default policies in Vista RC 2:
