I have a Win7 Enterprise(x64)sp1 and joined a domain, but when I try to open the local policy get --> access denied? Why???
STEPS
1) a win 7 that is part of a default install of AD on Win2008r2 --> (a win2008 domain/tree)
2) I launched CMD as an ADMIN on the win 7 client pc
3) added the group policy snap-in
4) I get a "welcome to GP wizard" screen,prompts me for the local policy, I click FINISH
then I get a "Access denied" message with a titlebar says --> group policy error" and a close button????
Why can i not open the local policy? I checked the "Default Domain Policy" in GPME and most MMC where set to "Not configured" so I set them to enabled and rebooted the client pc, but no change. i was logged in as the Enterprise Admin, but still same error???
Any ideas???

Does this need to be moved to the Active Directory forum?

Hi,
I think it is better to post in Server forum. Meanwhile, you can check the following policy in AD.

Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Group Policy, in the right pane scroll and select the "Turn off Local Group Policy objects processing".
