I had posted a question about ADMX files here yesterday. Not one response from the group, which is very unusual. Best I can figure, not too many here are using ADMX files yet. Otherwise I'm pretty sure a few people would've spoken up.
John Hornbuckle MIS Department Taylor County School District 318 North Clark Street Perry, FL 32347 www.taylor.k12.fl.us From: Jon Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 6:01 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: ADM and ADMX on a 2003 domain Sorry for the cross post but the Active Directory list is not as active as the NT Sys Admin list. Has anyone updated/installed/deployed the new ADMX format GPO's yet? It appears that once you upgrade the domain to use the new format it can only be managed from a Vista or Windows 2008 machine. What happens to all of the existing GPO's do they get converted or are they left alone? I did find the ADMX migrator but I am not talking about using it at the moment. There appears to be a one way switch in the Group Policy Mangement mmc that creates the starter GPO's in the ADMX format. The reading I have done indicates that once I create these starter GPO's all new GPO's can 1. only be managed from a Vista or 2008 GPMC and 2. will be in the new ADMX format. I would like to know from some of you if you have done this and 1. what happened to the existing GPO's and 2. if you open and edit an existing GPO does it get converted to the new format? Thanks for any insight you can offer, Jon ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
