Updated Group Policy Templates in May 2015 Anti-Malware Platform Update

The KB for the recently released May anti-malware platform update for Endpoint Protection clients (KB3049560) states that "Revised Group Policy template files (.admx) for managing System Center and Forefront Endpoint Protection clients are included in this update."

Has anyone seen the updated ADMX files?  On my clients, I don't see anything new (or updated) in C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions after installing the update.  I even went to the trouble to extract both the download and the MSI contained within (epp.msi), and I don't see any ADMX files there, either.

Thanks,

Mark

I no longer see any mention of the revised .admx templates in the KB article. I found a conversation on Twitter with a reply from Aaron Czechowski at Microsoft that says the article was revised after the initial release. Maybe the info in the initial article was premature? Hopefully there will be a clarification at some point:

Indeed. The KB appears to be on revision 5.0, last updated yesterday.  And, as you stated, no mention now of the updated templates. Thanks, Kevin.
