I recently posted about how to take advantage of the new Group Policy features in Windows 7. Because many organizations decided to skip Windows Vista, they may not be aware of a feature introduced in that time frame called Group Policy Preferences.

Several of the new features in Windows 7 are enabled exclusively through Group Policy.
