Policy Definitions Folder

[karldenton]

Hi,

I have downloaded Windows 10 ADMX to install on server 2008 r2.

 

When I try to copy to the C:\windows\policy definitions it says you need permission. I'm logged in as admin. The owner is TrustedInstallers but I don't want to change that as I read its not a good idea.

 

How can I install the ADMX?

 

I've also looked in our \\domain\SYSVOL\domain\Policies but there isn't a PolicyDefinitions folder. If I made one in there will GPMC be able to find it?

 

Thanks

do you mean an administrative user or the actual domain\administrator? if its not the latter i suspect uac is blocking you

[karldenton]

Yeah its the latter domain\administrator

This is where you create PolicyDefinitions and copy everything into it. This will then replicate across all your DCs.

Yeah, don't copy them to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions. They need to go in \\domain\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions (along with the en-US folder inside that which contains the ADMLs).
