Windows 2008 R2 Group Policy preference settings

I have installed a windows 2008 R2 dc in our windows 2003 AD. I want to use
the windows 2008 r2 group policy preferences such as for local users
setting, power and printer preference settings. I want them to be applied
to my window XP SP2 and SP3 desktops. With my domain can i apply these
group policy preference settings to my xp machines, or do I need to install
anything extra on my w2008 R2 DC or my XP machines.
