The Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) is a tool for managing group policies in Windows Server 2003. It provides administrators a single consolidated environment for working on group policy-related tasks. GPMC provides a single interface with drag-and-drop functionality to allow an administrator to manage group policy settings across multiple sites, domains, or even forests. GPMC is used to back up, restore, import, and copy group policy objects. It also provides a reporting interface on how group policy objects (GPOs) have been deployed.

Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is an add-on component of Windows Server 2008. It provides functionality to a server to run as a Windows Update server in a Windows network environment. Administrators can configure a WSUS server as the only server to download updates from Windows site, and configure other computers on the network to use the server as the source of update files. This will save lots of bandwidth as each computer will not download updates individually. WSUS 3.0 SP1 is the only version of WSUS that can be installed on Windows Server 2008. Earlier versions of WSUS cannot be installed on a server running Windows Server 2008.
