We currently are running 2008r2 and 2012r2 domain controllers at a 2003r2 domain functional level. We are planning up upgrading the DFL to 2008r2 but have some other things to take care of first.<br />
<br />
With our DFL level at 2003r2 can we import and use the Windows 10 admx group policy templates as expected prior to upgrading the DFL?<br />
<br />
Thanks
