ADMX Templates for windows 8.1

[ajames]

Can any one help me with this.

 

I have setup a windows 8.1 test computer in order to see if it will be suitable to roll out in school. Currently we are running windows 7 with server 2008r2, I have installed a server 2012 server and enabled group policy. I have installed the windows 8.1 admx templates into the central store, located on Server\windows\sysvol\domain\policies\policy definitions.

 

I have copied these files to the c:\windows\policy definition on the 2012 server, but when i go to amend the pupils gpo it is not giving me any of the updated template settings.

 

Does anyone know whats going on.

On a 2008 R2 box, the Policy Definitions folder should be copied to: C:\Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol\%DomainName%\Policies

 

As far as I know, 2012 should read the updated policies from the same central location. Replication typically takes minutes depending on the size of your AD structure.

I was installing into PolicyDefinitions\PolicyDefinitions, once i went back a step it worked.
