Hello,
I have a Window 2008R2 domain. We are in the process of testing group policy settings on Windows8. Can I copy all the .admx files for Windows8/2012 to the policy definitions container on the Windows 2008R2 DC thus making those templates available through GPMC from the Windows 2008R2 machine?
I am not very clear with this snippet from MS:
To install both of these administrative template simply install them on the computer that you are editing the GPO’s. Then the GPO’s you edit from the computer will be automatically upgrade next time you open the via GP Editor. As always it is still the best idea as it is always recommend to edit Group Policy Objects from the most recent OS in your environment but at least the template updates allows this scenario if you need to edit GPO’s from older computers.

What does this mean? Please advice.
