That's fine, but when launched from ADUC, I get what seems to be essentially the same interface as gpedit.msc, except that it's pointing to the domain.
By "launched from ADUC", I mean I open ADUC on my workstation, navigate to the OU in question, select Properties from the context menu, select the Group Policy tab, right-mouse-click on the GP in question and select Edit. At that point, I can navigate the tree in the left hand pane, and see what I expected to see, which is the "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System" - that's missing from the local version. I even tried Start/Run/"gpedit.msc \\dc1" and that didn't work either. As I said, this is pretty minor, but I'm curious about it.
