CC4 Office 2013 ADMX ADML templates

[ragbuster]

I have created a package for a CC4 network and used the office customization tool to create the package, all good but I am having trouble trying to import the ADMX,ADML files templates to manage user settings.

I have copied the files in to the correct folder on the server per RM requirements but in doing so the RM management console states the root element is missing when trying to browse the user policies.

 

Has anyone successfully managed to import the Office 2013 admin templates in to the RM management console?

Did you get anywhere with this? Just trying to do this now.

If you are using Server 2008 you will need to use ADM templates not ADMX.

No I have 2012 server. So have to use admx

I managed to get it working fine with our 2012 server.

Download the Office Integration Pack from Microsoft which enables you to configure certain aspects of the install, the only real change I made with this was inserting our OVS license key and setting the install to silent.

As mentioned get the ADMX templates for Office from Microsoft and extract them to a folder somewhere. In our case I used the office15.admx & office15.adml files.

 

Copy the office15.admx to the c:\windows\policydefinitions folder on the server

Copy the office15.adml to the c:\windows\policydefinitions\en-us folder on the server

I also copied office15.adml to the c:\windows\policydefinitions\en-gb folder just in case.

 

In the RM management console I made a clone of the policies for usertype standard and staff and then based my gpo changes to these new usertypes leaving RM original ones alone.

In group policy manager on the server select your new cloned policy type and edit it, you will see the various options available to edit for Office 2013

 

Hope this helps!

2008 onwards use ADMX. It's 2003 that needs ADM templates.
