IE8 group policies in Server 2003 AD domain?

[kferraro]

OK, first of all can this be done? I see conflicting info about .adm vs
..admx templates. Are full .adm templates available for IE8? The advice I
have seen to find the .adm template in CWindows\IE8 has resulted in an adm
file dated 1-1-2007 and it sure doesn't seem to contain policies pertaining
to 8 or even 7. My situation is an AD domain with XPSP3 clients and W2K3
servers and I don't see us updating in the near future but I have been told
to go to IE8. If need be I can put a Vista or Win7 machine on the domain to
manage the IE8 policies if they can then be applied to XP clients. Thank you
in advance for any info that can help clear this up for me.
