The culprits of breaking the gpedit.msc could be...

Remote Desktop Assistance
Bit locker Encryption
TPM Service

No i can't figure out whats breaking the group policy editor (gpedit.msc) Other then that the ELITE preset would be the way to go keeps the most functionality. The ULTRA preset removes a lot of functionality but is still very usable.

just wondered but if you keep the dfs replication, the group policy should work! dont know why dfs is the culprit tho?

read the post above don't think DFS is the culprit

ps liquid, does the group policy snapin in either of your presets still function? also does the event viewer show any errors in application & system?

I have one error under Application. None under System. I think it has to do with removing System Restore

The Cryptographic Services service failed to initialize the VSS backup "System Writer" object.

i think thats to do with removing volume shadow copy?

Currently working on testing the two presets on build 7232

try it & you will see?! it took many i dont how many tries to work that out as it seemed the most unlikely?

[liquid0624]

Yea your right VSS is also used by system restore forgot that u could actually remove that service hehe

[liquid0624]

Did you test keeping DFS and running the group policy editor works ?

Write a guide of what ? The vlite mini guide is in the first post of this thread and the guide for the DISM stuff that dead0 wrote is like on page 2 or 3 towards the middle bottom.

@liquid0624: great first post!

Few questions though. Would be nice to include reasoning for protected files see my post here for example.

With build 7137 I had no installation issues when removing the following components: Game Explorer, Snipping Tool, Welcome Center, Windows Firewall, Internet Connection Sharing.
What changed for these components?

I have no idea but something changed, well the snipping tool and welcome center always reappeared when i try ed removing them. Game Explorer Firewall And Internet Connection Sharing i will attempt again at some point but they all cause the install to error out before it finishes completing before you get to the screen of were you put your user name in. Check out the Ultra preset made that one just for you buddy it removes like everything possible

I will try removing those again one by one with build 7232 and i will report back then.
PS i will add the dll reasons from your post thank you much
