Instructions on installing ADMX Templates:

1. Download and unzip the template's CAB or ZIP file. Sometimes the ZIP contains a CAB file inside.

2. Copy *.admx files -> C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions

3. Copy admx\locale\*.adml files -> C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\locale
ie: copy admx\en-us\*.adml -> C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-us

If you don't want the other language translations, don't transfer them.

4. There is no version control for ADMX. Policy Editor uses the last copied file to display the template help.

5. You can install ADMX templates for a different version of Windows or Office than what you have installed. This allows you to create a local policy file that you intend to copy to another Windows or Office build. If you configure policy settings that isn't recognized by the local host, it will be silently ignored.

6. Export policy files to a new image using LGPO tool. Copying the Windows\System32\GroupPolicy folder doesn't alway work because there is an unique GUID and Version saved in gpt.ini
