    Domain Group Policy 2003 environment & Windows 7 clients


    Whenever I log in to windows 7 using my test AD account I only see 3 icons inside control panel.... When I log in to XP using the same AD account I see all the control panel icons that Im supposed to see according to my GP settings. So it looks like my GP is NOT working properly for windows 7 machines any ideas on what I can do to fix this issue?

    Could it be the admin of Active Directory has set a group policy for Win 7 users that limits what is available in the Control Panel? They may not be administering XP the same way.

    **EDIT** I just realized you are probably the network admin. Duh...
