Looks to me like the registry entries that are being modified are not in the same location in W2k8.

And modified the system.adm file with the following: POLICY !!NoViewOnDrive #if version >= 4 SUPPORTED !!SUPPORTED_Win2k #endif EXPLAIN !!NoViewOnDrive_Help PART !!NoDrivesDropdown DROPDOWNLIST NOSORT REQUIRED VALUENAME "NoViewOnDrive" ITEMLIST NAME !!ABOnly VALUE NUMERIC 3 NAME !!COnly VALUE NUMERIC 4 NAME !!DOnly VALUE NUMERIC 8 NAME !!ABConly VALUE NUMERIC 7 NAME !!ABCDOnly VALUE NUMERIC 15 NAME !!ALLDrivesnoABCVZ VALUE NUMERIC 35651591 NAME !!ALLDrives VALUE NUMERIC 67108863 DEFAULT ; low 26 bits on (1 bit per drive) NAME !!RestNoDrives VALUE NUMERIC 0 END ITEMLIST END PART END POLICY It works fine, and looks fine on a W2K3 machine running the GPMC. But from a W2K8 machine running GPM, it shows up under "Extra registry Settings". And you see this right below it in the report: 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 I've also read KB873449 which seems to address the topic, but I still don't understand why it's not being correctly interpreted in the W2K8 GPM. I would expect this to show up under the normal location in the GPM on W2K8. Anyone else run into this type of issue?
