thanks!

hi randyh,

you not need windows 2008 r2 domain controller. need windows 7 client rsat (remote server administration tool) installed , group poilcy management enabled (after rsat installed, need enable it. turn windows feature on or off).

with windows 7 gpmc installation required admx files configure new features of windows 7. there windows 7 features required schema update bitlocker: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd875520(ws.10).aspx

once have windows 2008 r2 servers in domain , want use new gp settings these servers, either create central store admx files or copy admx files windows 2008 r2 windows 7 client. (from policydefinitions folder).

hope helps,

gunter
