In terms of your GPO changes, were those
to take advantage of new features in Win7 to lock down or did you have to
recreate all of your GPO’s because they no longer worked? Are you using
W2K3 or W2K8 for your DC’s? :)

We had to upgrade
our public printing software (Pharos Uniprint) to a version that could run on
Windows 7 clients, which was painful because of some other concurrent,
non-Windows 7 reasons.
Mastering sysprep
(to change the SID and copy the profile used for configuration/installations to
the default profile) was probably the most time consuming issue.
Aside from that, it
was predominantly software testing (making sure that everything we were running
on the machines worked on Windows 7).
There were a lot of
policy changes/testing but that went pretty smoothly … just allow lots of
time for testing.

Has anyone put public machines out with Windows 7 yet? What
fun stories and pitfalls can you share so that I may avoid them? ;) We are
currently running XP, SAM and Deep Freeze on a domain structure with some
GPO’s to lock the kids out of a variety of things. ;)
