After you install SP1, you will be temporarily unable to manage domain-based Group Policy from that computer because of the following changes:
The Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) will be uninstalled.
Gpedit.msc will default to the Local Group Policy Editor.
Because of these changes, you should use Remote Desktop to connect to another computer to manage Group Policy. At a later date, an updated GPMC that contains greater functionality will be released as part of the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT). The updated GPMC will include additional functionality, including the ability to use Starter Group Policy objects (GPOs) which will allow you to more easily configure common scenarios. It will also include more powerful search and filter capabilities to make it easier for you to find and edit settings and add comments on at the setting (or the GPO itself).
Note
Deploying SP1 using Group Policy is not supported for the RC1 version of SP1.
For more information about these changes, see the release notes (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=52066) and the Overview of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=100279).
