If your PC is not connected to a domain, you see in the SP2 Security

As soon as you connect your PC to a domain, all these warnings
disappear.

Microsoft in its infinite wisdom has not heard of domain users who
aren't
plugged into the domain all the time, such as laptop users, or network
outages, or any other circumstance in which users of machines which are
plugged into the network might have their machines fail to continue to
be
updated with automatic updates, or fail to receive antivirus updates.

You can turn it on again with a Group Policy setting.

From a previous post by me:

If the computer is member of a domain, the Security Center is
default disabled, and you will see this entry in the Application
event log (Source: SecurityCenter, Event ID: 1807):

"The Security Center service has been stopped. It was prevented
from running by a software group policy."

For a domain computer, this is normal and by design, the Security
Center is default turned off (and you will get the message mentioned
above in the event log). There is a Group Policy setting available
if you want to turn it on (domain wide or just for your computer
using Start/Run-- gpedit.msc).

OK I looked in gpedit.msc as this is per computer - only for a few computers
not all

Turn on Security Center (computers in Windows domain only)
Administrative Templates \System\ Security Center
N/A Not configured
On, Off

The problem is that there is not a Security Center under System

Are there new admin templates I need to install on SP2 computers to access
these settings?
