ADM, ADMX, GPO ADM, ADMX, Microsoft, Migrator No Comments
Microsoft with Full Armor has released a new version of the ADMX Migrator tool.
This is version 1.2 of this tool and as stated on the download page these are the changes:
A first look at the tool and it seems to work as expected. I haven’t tested to convert any adm-files expect a small one which seemed to work just fine. It’s also easy to build your own admx-files using the tool which can be handy when you want to stop creating adm-files in notepad

Finally MS released the Office 2007 templates for Group Policy in the new ADMX-format.
You can now benefit here also to have those stored in your Central Store so that you decrease the load for replicating GPO’s between servers etc.
These new templates is of course not with all languages and I wouldn’t be to sure that they will be released either.
The download file also contains an excel-file for reference.
Download the new templates here

ADMX, GPO, Windows Vista ADMX, Download, Microsoft 1 Comment
MS has released the Administrative Templates as a downloadable package.
At first I wasn’t sure why but then I could see that this package also includes all language files for the admx-files which will make it easier if you have people in different countries all creating GPO’s and they want to create them in their own language. So it’s much easier way to collect the adml-files rater than needing to install different Vista’s just to get the adml-files.
Download the files from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=05d0598b-95f9-4bdd-af36-b365d68ec5f6&DisplayLang=en

ADM, ADMX, Custom, GPO ADM, ADMX, GPO No Comments
Everyone that has ever tried to troubleshoot group policy problems knows how hard that can be.
Darren Mar-Elia (MS MVP) has created a GPO logging ADM & ADMX which you can use in a GPO to enable some logging features without having to know where to enable it manually.
It wont help you resolve your problem but it gives you some options on how to troubleshoot depending on what it is.
Find his custom adm/admx here: http://www.gpoguy.com/gpolog.htm

As you could see in my old post about the ADMX migrator it will convert your existing adm-files to the new format but there are some open issues with this Migrator which can crasch GPEdit when you try to open them after convert has been done.
Read about this (Note #1) from Jeremy’s GP Blog as he has reported some of these problems to Full Armor/MS and reports that the new version will come in beginning of October.

If you want to use your own created adm-files in Windows Vista you would need to convert them into ADMX-format.
Microsoft has provided us with a tool for this named ADMX Migrator where you can migrate your adm-template to the new xml-format.
One great thing with this tool is that you can change the templates after migration (or even create new ones) without the need to open them in a text-editor or something else for editing. Another purpose may be to migrate Microsoft’s own Office 2007 adm-files to the new format since they have only released in the old format.
Download the tool here and start migrate your policies today.
