Your process seems correct. I'd try creating another gpo but only make one or two simple changes then see if the report for it has any errors.

Here is the scenario: windows 2008 R2 ( All MS Updates applied ) 1. Configure Central Store and created the Policy Def folder in Sysvol. 2. Copied the entire folder of Policy definitions folder from a brand new Windows 7 stand alone computer to the new Sysvol location i.e. "Policy Definitions" 2. Verified the New GPO are based on Central Store. 3. Created a new Test GPO. 4. Applied various settings. 5. Run Settings report in GPMC 6. It allows me to enable disable various settings.... and I get this message at the bottom of the result ? Extra Registry Settingshide Display names for some settings cannot be found. You might be able to resolve this issue by updating the .ADM files used by Group Policy Management. Setting State SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Signatures\EveryNetwork\CategoryReadOnly 1 SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Signatures\EveryNetwork\IconReadOnly 1 SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Signatures\EveryNetwork\NameReadOnly 1 Can someone please shed some light on this why is it that I get this message ? I only have *.admx files stored int he central store. To be precise I had 148 files + one folder & that folder i.e. en-US has another 148 adml files. :( I am confused that Win2k8 only required admx files so why is that error for .adm files ? cheers Rob -- Chris MCP ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
