GROUP POLICY: Office adm/admx confusion in mixed Win7/XP environment
I have 3 locations, two moving to Windows 7 and one that is going to remain on XP for now. The Windows 7 locations are getting Office 2010, the XP location still has Office XP (old, I know). I am confused about Group Policy adm/admx files. If I put the admx files in a central store on the domain sysvol as recommended and install the adm templates in the GPO, the settings won't work on the XP/Office XP location clients, will they? Do I need to run two different Office GPOs to accommodate this setup? I'd love to get the XP location up to Windows 7 but it just isn't in the cards for a few months. Thanks for any advice.

Hi, Based on my research, I would like to answer you that you need create two policies: ADM and ADMX. The ADM policy is for Windows XP Clients and the other one is for Windows 7. For more information about Office policy, please refer to the following article: Office 2010 Administrative Template files (ADM, ADMX, ADML) and Office Customization Tool Thanks, NovakPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
