You can enable the Parental Controls on a domain joined machine, but the way
I understand it, it will only work for accounts when they are not actually
joined to the domain. See the following website for more information.

Hey Rich Lusk: While Parental Controls are indeed disabled on domain-joined
accounts (as this is almost entirely a business-only scenario -- yours is
the first case where I've heard otherwise), there is a Group Policy setting
that should unhide the PC UI on domain-joined machines:
- Run gpedit.msc (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Run...)
- In the left-side tree, drill down as follows: Local Computer
Policy->Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows
Components->Parental Controls
- Set the “Make Parental Controls control panel visible on a Domain” policy
to Enabled
- Exit gpedit
- Log out and back in
The Parental Controls UI will now be visible and may be used on
non-domain-joined accounts.
Hope this helps.
