Pretty certain iirc the adm file is stored on the client in Windows\INF

 

You then add it in AD and replace the older version.

I've created a guide you may find useful.

[noah]

Your right they are stored in the inf folder but still old adm files 03/10/06.

 

We need the latest as pictured. On the MS website it says the date of the ADM file is 10/04/07 but then when you download and properties the file it is the old version. 03/10/06.

 

Thanks

Right, from memory the MSI extracts the updated ADM into the Program Files directory. You need to move it from here and overwrite the existing intres.adm in C:\Windows\Inf

[noah]

Thanks, I know where the files are extracted from the MSI but the date of the file properties is still 03/10/06 which is the old ADM file. Looks like microsoft has got there link wrong as on their web page it says 10/04/07.

[Michael]

You're right about the date. The main thing you'll find about the IE7 intres.adm file, is that it's much larger than the IE6 one. This is because there are a lot more policies to tweak.

[noah]

Thanks for your help - I need to disable the runonce setting as seen in the following link

 

http://www.mattbrindley.com/images/ie7runonce1.gif but can't find in the 03/10/06 adm template. Seems strange to me the IE7 adm templete seems so old.

[Michael]

It is a useful policy I agree. You may also have to enable tabbed browsing too.

[noah]

I agree it would a useful policy but I'm unable to find it in the 04/10/06 ADM template. Any help on where I can find an up-to-date adm template with the runonce policy in it would be very helpful.

[Michael]

Once you've copied the file into C:\Windows\Inf, open up Active Directory and select the relevant OU.

 

Under User Configuration, right click Administrative Templates > Add/Remove Templates

 

Make sure the Intres.adm is the correct version, if not, click Add.

 

Then navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer

 

All the policies will be in here. If they're not, then you definitely need to import the file.

[noah]

Thanks for your help. Found the policy in the adm template we require to stop the runonce and works a treat.
