Thanks for your reply. The Server 2008 Domain Controllers are able to roll out these policies they aren't able to edit?

I have server 2008 domain controllers. I ran Windows Server 2008 R2 Adprep. <br />
There are certain Group Policy options not available in the Group Policy Management console on my Server 2008 console, while I am able to set those policies from a 2008R2 or Windows 7 console. For instance in the Preferences - Power Options Power Plan (Windows Viasta and later), see the two images. I ran against more of these settings not available from the server 2008 gpmc.<br />

Is it possible to make these items visible, and manageable on my server 2008 servers? <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/03_w13/434982/Power-Plan-2008R2.jpg" target="_blank" title="gpmc in 2008R2 (86 KB)"><img alt="gpmc in 2008R2" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 800px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/03_w13/800_434982/Power-Plan-2008R2.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/03_w13/434983/Power-Plan-2008.jpg" target="_blank" title="gpmc in 2008 (74 KB)"><img alt="gpmc in 2008" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 800px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/03_w13/800_434983/Power-Plan-2008.jpg" /></a>

I have server 2008 domain controllers. I ran Windows Server 2008 R2 Adprep. 
There are certain Group Policy options not available in the Group Policy Management console on my Server 2008 console, while I am able to set those policies from a 2008R2 or Windows 7 console. For instance in the Preferences - Power Options Power Plan (Windows Viasta and later), see the two images. I ran against more of these settings not available from the server 2008 gpmc.

Is it possible to make these items visible, and manageable on my server 2008 servers?
