Unraveling the mystery of Group Policies for Windows 7


i have installed remote server administration tools on windows 7 administrator laptop in order install latest version of gpmc windows 7. have created central store on domain controllers admx files. when editting group policy still not see of settings. example, looking "point , print restrictions" setting, not appear. missing? can recommend links bring msyteries of group policy management in meaningful manner? subject matter appears on place. important should not difficult , confusing.

actually should not difficult... ;-)
what put "central store" will make available settings see underneath "administrative templates" node.
all other stuff (e.g. security settings) related version of gpeditor , the registered snap ins. 
there no dependency ad level version or schema version, e.g. see "wired network (ieee 802.3)"
policies latest gpmc/gpedit anyway, but if ad schema not meet the requirements, warning message appear.

so first question is: did use source admx files put "central store" ?
please note e.g. admx templates come win 7 (148 files) not same come windows 2008 r2 (156 files).
4 files unique windows 7, 12 windows 2008 r2. means 16 files totally individual...

some adm categories have changed compared windows 2003 / xp.
what sections did check "point , print" ?
user settings defined in "administrative templates\control panel\printers" , computer settings in "administrative templates\printers".
please note that one new feature filtering. please check via context menu on "administrative templates" if there set prevents
displaying settings miss. if not, can try use find search for.
