Installing Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 will solve the problem and make the policies work.




In the case of a Windows 2012 R2, during the installation, can throw an error 0x80240017.



That error is solved by applying Microsoft KB2319355. However, during the installation of this patch, another error can arise, "The update is not aplicable to your computer". 



This other error can be solve installing before another Microsoft patch, KB2919442
