I wasn't the author of this particular modification. But my guess is that he was trying to modify an entry in an existing GPO option, not add something that didn't already exist.

Thanks, Brian Desmond [email protected] w – 312.625.1438 | c – 312.731.3132 -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Bodnar [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 7:55 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: re: GPO question 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to recognize custom ADM files you have in your existing environment, but will ignore any ADM file that has been superseded by ADMX files: System.adm, Inetres.adm, Conf.adm, Wmplayer.adm, and Wuau.adm.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.
