Why are you modifying an in-box ADM as opposed to using your own?

Thanks,

If anyone is interested I found out why this is happening. From here:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709647(WS.10).aspx

Group Policy tools will continue to recognize custom ADM files you have in your 
existing environment, but will ignore any ADM file that has been superseded by 
ADMX files: System.adm, Inetres.adm, Conf.adm, Wmplayer.adm, and Wuau.adm. 
Therefore, if you have edited any of the these files to modify existing or 
create new policy settings, the modified or new settings will not be read or 
displayed by the Windows Vista–based Group Policy tools.

In our situation, we modified the existing system.adm file, so it won't be seen 
by GPMC on W2K8R2 or W7.
