Thanks for the response, Devin. I'm making use of the Central Store, as I mentioned. But as you say, when new ADMX/ADML files come out, they should be copied to the central store. My question is, how do I know when they come out? How do I ensure that the versions in the CS aren't old?

The gpmc will look first for a central store, and if it doesnt find the template, it will look at the local machine. Update the CS once and be done, when new ones come out, copy to central store. hth,Devin On Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 12:53 PM, John Hornbuckle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I pitched this to the AD list, but it's not nearly as active as this one, so I figured I'd try here. I'm looking for input on the best way to ensure that we're always using the latest version of policy definitions (ADMX files and the ADML language files). I know these files are periodically updated by MS--how do I make sure that the versions I have in \\domain\sysvol\domain\policies\policydefinitions are the most recent? Looking in the %systemroot%\policydefinitions folder of my own machine (fully-patched Vista), I see file versions newer than those on the network store. Should I copy those into the store and replace the older ones?
