User can't change Power Management setting

Dear experts,

I have a Server 2008 R2, with Power Management policy enabled. After receiving complains about not being able to change the Power Management setting, I disabled the policy. However, user still can't change the setting. The Power Management icon is missing in the control panel. I log in as a network admin, still can't see the Power Management icon. Then, I log in as a local admin, went to the control panel. And the icon is there.

I am thinking that there is something wrong with the GPO. I opened the Group Policy Management, then expanding the Power Management policy. Here is what I see:


The following errors were encountered:
Encountered an error while parsing. System error: -2130706429. File C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\inetres.adml, line 3, column 236
Encountered an error while parsing. System error: -2130706429. File C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\inetres.adml, line 3, column 236
An appropriate resource file could not be found for file C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\inetres.admx (error = 18): There are no more files.  

See attachment for more detail.

Have you ever restarted the sever after applying the change on GPO?

Also try GPUpdate.exe to refresh Group Policy settings. See belw the TechNet article about the command, it applys to Windows 2008 R2 too.

Did you try gpupdate /force from  the client?

Had to take ownership of en-us folder and gave admin full rights, I then copied the inetres.adml from a diff Win2K8 R2 we have on the network, checked GPO and it all worked fine, no more errors. Thank you all for help!
Closest solution, thank you very much!
