I actually had&quot;loopback processing set&quot;. &nbsp;and i was wrong, not all policies are being blocked, just most..<br />
the policy &quot;prohibit access to the control panel&quot; &nbsp;works just fine. it is supported on &quot;at least windows 2000&quot;. &nbsp;these do not work: &nbsp;&quot;remove run menu from start menu&quot; &nbsp;(supported on &quot;at least windows 2000).<br />
and &quot;Remove access to use all Windows Update features&quot; (supported on &quot;at least windows 2000).<br />

I actually had"loopback processing set".  and i was wrong, not all policies are being blocked, just most..
the policy "prohibit access to the control panel"  works just fine. it is supported on "at least windows 2000".  these do not work:  "remove run menu from start menu"  (supported on "at least windows 2000).
and "Remove access to use all Windows Update features" (supported on "at least windows 2000).

Which mode did you have Loopback Processing set to? The modes can get a little confusing, but in most simple deployments, you will want 'Merge' mode.<br />
