Dear Demazter,

Where the name came from?
ADM
ADMX

I think there are a meaning of those names
Hi,

ADM = ADMinistrative Template that contain language-specific settings for Windows 2003 Server.
ADMX = ADMX files are XML-based ADM files that contain language-specific settings for Windows Server 2008.

So ADM comes from Administrative.

It's microsofts extension for Admin templates that go int group policies.

That's where it came from.

As I said in my first post they are the extensions for Group Policy Templates.
ADM are pre Windows 2008/Vista and ADMX are Windows 2008 and Vista onwards.

The ADMX can be read by Older versions of the OS if they have the client side extensions installed.
