Good Morning,
Quick back story before I go into full details. I recently added a 2008 R2 server to my 2003 domain and made it a DC. I did all the following prep to the domain to prepare for this DC, adprep, forestprep, and domainprep. I also decommissioned one the 2003 servers and promoted the 2008 R2 as a DC. It all appears to have worked seamlessly, no complaints on the network so far. I did this because we have started to introduce some Wind 7 system to the domain so we wanted to add a 2008 R2 server. I have created by win 7 group policy and have the win 7 systems in a separate OU where that policy is only applied to those systems. The problem is the win 7 system are only receiving part of the policy. Under computer configuration\windows settings\security settings, they are receiving the account policies, local policies and even the firewall policy I specified, however there are not pulling the advanced audit policy configuration or anything that I specified under the administrative templates which contains the control panel, network, printers, system, and windows components. I copied the admx files from the 2008 R2 server to the sysvol folder and it states that's where it is getting the templates from. However when I do a gpupdate /force on a local windows 7 systems it is only pulling part of the policy. Can someone give me some ideas on what I may be missing or if I have something turned on or off that may be preventing this from applying properly?
Thank you.
