How to input the Administrative Templates in windows 2008 AD Group Policy Management Editor
Hi All,
I am trying to setup some adminstrative templates on a new Windows 2008 domain. I see that in the existing windows 2003 AD, under "Group Policy Object Editor" - "Computer configuration" - "Administrative Templates", there are many rules.
In my Windows 2008 "Group Policy Management Editor", i don't see them there. So, I went google and searched for "Administrative Templates for Windows 2008", downloaded the "2008ADMX.msi". extracted it, copied the content to c:\windows\sysvol\sysvol (so they will sync to other DC). When I tried to import the rules into Group Policy, the ADML seems like they are not the recognized format for importation. Therefore, I couldn't get them in.
Am I doing this wrong from the begining? If so, how could I get the rules to setup in Group Policy? Basically, what I want to do is setup a policy, that will delete user's roaming profile upon logoff of the client stations. Thank you very much.
Attached screen cap is from Windows 2008 AD. thank you

Thanks mkline71, I found a site that said, copying them to the SYSVOL\SYSVOL on AD server will work... and that actually does. Just some admx files could not be imported correctly, and every time I open Group Policy, it prompts about the failure. (annoying in a way). The location you mentioned was correct. thank you
