best practise managing group policy up-to-date installed

and patched machines. means should have management

machine current os , service pack level have running in

production. helps manage newest gp settings around.

 

it doesn't matter whether that's dc or workstation or virtual

machine or terminal server session. needs current. in

terms of "multiple management stations" vs. single station -- if

you're opting centralstore, multiple management stations,

around globe, become less of problem then.
