Update your ADMX cache!

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

I originally created my ADMX cache in the summer of 2007 using Vista and Windows Server 2003 after learning about it at Tech Ed that year. Today I just realized that the ADMX cache doesn't automatically get updated. To update it follow these instructions.

To populate (or update) the central store
1. Open a command window: click Start, click Run, then type cmd.
2. To copy all the language-neutral ADMX files from your Windows 7 administrative workstation to the central store on your domain controller using the xcopy command, type:
xcopy %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions\* %logonserver%\sysvol\%userdnsdomain%\policies\PolicyDefinitions\
3. To copy all ADMX language resource files from your Windows 7 administrative workstation to the central store on your domain controller using the xcopy command, type:
xcopy %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US\* %logonserver%\sysvol\%userdnsdomain%\policies\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US\

These instructions were grabbed from here.

You can also throw in the Office 2007 / 2010 files if you want to help with that.

Lastly, if you want to see a list of all the GPO settings from 2003-2008 R2 you can grab the excel file here.

Update: Newer ADMX files were just released and can be found at this link.
