Once we realized the reason, we were going to create a new ADMX template, but found that what were were looking to do could be accomplished through "Drive Maps" in Preferences.

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to recognize custom ADM files you have in your existing environment, but will ignore any ADM file that has been superseded by ADMX files: System.adm, Inetres.adm, Conf.adm, Wmplayer.adm, and Wuau.adm.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.
