Let us learn how to import ADMX files into the Active Directory of our Server management support services at Bobcares.

Why import ADMX files into Active Directory?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft directory service that allows businesses to manage user accounts, computers, and other network resources.

Group Policy is an Active Directory feature. It allows administrators to specify and enforce security. It also allows other network policies for workstations and users.

ADMX (Administrative Template) files are XML-based files that specify Active Directory Group Policy settings. Administrators can use these files to specify and manage settings for Windows components and apps in a consistent manner.

How to import ADMX files into Active Directory?

Follow these procedures to import ADMX files into Active Directory:

1. Firstly, from the Microsoft Download Center, obtain the ADMX files for the relevant Windows component or program.

2. We should extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file to a temporary location.

3. After that, on the domain controller, launch the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
4. Select “Add/Remove Templates” from the context menu. This will open up when we right-click on the “Administrative Templates” node in the Group Policy Objects container.
5. After that, click the “Add” button in the “Add/Remove Templates” dialog box and navigate to the location where we extracted the ADMX files.
6. Select the ADMX files you wish to import and press the “Open” button.

7. After that, we will add the ADMX files to the list of available administrative templates.

8. Right-click on a Group Policy Object and select “Edit” to handle the new Group Policy settings described in the imported ADMX files.
9. Navigate to the administrative template you wish to configure in the Group Policy Management Editor under “Computer Configuration” or “User Configuration.”
10. Configure the required Group Policy settings in the editor’s right pane.
11. Finally, close the editor once we’ve completed modifying the settings, and the changes will be deployed to the appropriate machines and users on the network.

Importing ADMX files into Active Directory enables administrators to consistently and standardizedly specify and manage settings for Windows components and apps.

Organizations may enforce security regulations and standardize user environments throughout their network by implementing Group Policy settings.
