So, I am sort of filling in at my job as an ad-hock sys-admin until we find a qualified one, and I was asked to clean up/break up some of our GPOs (something I have some experience doing at a previous job, and feel comfortable with).
So I installed rsat on my win7 machine, and when I open a new GPO and go to the Admin Templates section it picks up the fact that we have a central store, but none of the options are there. I get all of the default options, and a few MS Office options that say "(Machine)" after them.
The weird thing is that if I go to edit an old policy (for example a Google Chrome policy), then all of the settings (for only google chrome) are there. Or if I edit the policy for our VDI environment then it will list the VMWare policy folders as if they are there, but missing all others (ex. Google will be missing).
But again, if I go to create a new GPO, I cannot find any of these template settings for Google or VMWare.
I have checked that the templates (~175 of them) are in the central store, and their corresponding adml files are in the en-us folder. All of the folders appear to be named correctly.
Next thought was that this was some weird win7 thing, so I fired up my win10 desktop and got it set up; same behavior.
Super confused. Need help!
Thanks!
