Open your group policy editor and import the file.

This template is considered a preference rather than a true policy and will tattoo the registry of client computers with its settings. If this template is moved out of scope of the Group Policy which applies it, the registry changes it makes will remain. If you wish to reverse the settings made by this template, simply reverse the options to re-enable the drivers.

Preference settings are hidden by default in the Group Policy template editor. When applying this template, follow these instructions to change the view settings that allow preferences to be viewed. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/ServerHelp/e50f1e64-d7e5-4b6d-87ff-adb3cf874365.mspx
