After spending quite a while trawling through the many user and computer configurations via RSAT and setting things up I booted one of the machines to find very little of what I enabled taking effect.
From what I have read it is not necessary to update the scheme via adprep unless you want stuff like bit locker working. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search.
I am wondering if I set up group policy settings, will those override my account which is set up under the groups Administrators, Domain Admins, Domain Users, Enterprise Admins, Schema Admins. I am not seeing any options to set up a group policy for just the "Domain Users" group, which will be the ones who I want to limit their access to certain things via group policy.
How do I set up group policies on a per-group basis, or is this something that will not affect me since I am a member of the Administrators group? Put your groups into separate OU's based on what you policies you want linked to them. You will notice that at the top is the default domain policy if there is anyone you want exempt from this create an OU, right click it in GPO management and select block inheritance. Do not let your new GPO's you will be creating interfere with what is already on the default domain policy by default the default domain policy will override.
Group policies are applied to Organization Units and not groups, so setup a few OU's and apply policies as you wish. Read this for more details. I found this site to be a good resource for visual tutorials while using Windows Server. And something easier to explain the process. Ensure that the Read and Apply Group Policy boxes are checked for the group.
Note that if you use this for a security group whose members are computers, and you add a computer to that group, the group membership will not take effect until the computer is restarted. Do I need to import some settings so that these policies work for Windows 7?
Use one of the Windows 7 machines and install the remote system administrator tools. Use the group policy management tool in the RSAT to connect to the domain controller.
This will let you apply newer policies to Windows 7, as well as allow you to use group policy preferences, which are very useful in their own right. Another article you could read.

This will enable you to configure Win 7 specific settings. It can be a good idea to create exclusive GPOs for Win 7 machines only.
User filtering or other mechanisms e. OU design to target only the desired machines. There are different approaches for that and there is no "this way" or "that way".

Hi Bob, I'm sorry that I made a wrong example. Thank you for your clarification. It is still not working for me. Windows 7 machines in the Windows domain still dont see Windows 7 specific settings. I have already: 1. Copied all admx and adml files to the central store [as instructed in the technet doc mentioned above] 3. What else needs to be done? Tuesday, February 23, PM. I too have done all these steps and haven't been able to get certain settings to work hiding specific control panels, changing wallpaper.
I read somewhere that I may have to extend the schema, but I'm not exactly sure how to do that. I don't have a server to get adprep from and I'm not even sure if that's what I'd have to do Monday, August 2, PM.
