I'm curious as we have a few ways based on machine type and OU. For older machines on XP without Client Side Extensions there are scripts. For newer machines with Windows 7, we use Preferences via Server 2008 R2 Group Policy.

There is also the option within a print server to "Deploy via Group Policy" which also works nicely with Windows 7.

What's the main difference between using the "Deploy via Group Policy" option and Preferences? Is one better? I prefer the Preferences because it's so easy and works really well.

Can XP machines without CSE's process the GPO when the "Deploy" option is used?
