Windows 7 GPO's on a 2003 domain with a new 2008 DC

Just introduced a 2008 DC to our 2003 native domain.  Installed Win7 machines and created new GPO's from the 2008 server.  They will not apply, ran gpupdate /force and rebooted workstations a couple times, pointed their DNS to the 2K8 server as well.  Thought you can control GP's for Win 7 as long as you create them from the 2K8 server?  Bi-directional replication is working

Thoughts?

Hello,

Not sure if this helps but this link is similar to your issue:

Have you done a domain prep on your other servers to bring some functionality up to 2008?

Yes ran adprep  - "forest", "domain" and "gpprep".   Noticed I can't import any .admx templates either from the policy definitions folder.

Can you check running RSOP.msc and check which policy has failed and the error

Thanks.  "Gpresult" helped, removed all 2003 GPOs and everything appears good now.
