Hi all,
We have a mixed environment of Windows 7/8 and Windows Server 2003/08R2/12 as well as Office 2007/10/13 (32bit and 64bit). I would like to be able to manage our Office suites via Admin Templates. Now, I have never used a Central Store before and am wondering how to go about setting it up properly.
I have created the PolicyDefinitions folder in SYSVOL, but from there do I need any specific structure in order to have the templates picked up and displayed correctly? For example, I downloaded the 32bit and 64bit Office 2013 ADMX/ADML/OPAX packs. Running their respective setups gave me two identically named folders and files, eg...\32bit\admx\access15.admx and ..\64bit\admx\access15.admx - clearly I can't dump those two files into the same PolicyDefinitions directory as one file will overwrite the other and that will mean I can't manage the 32bit/64bit versions separately. Additionally, if I am creating a policy for 32bit Office installations and for 64bit Office installations, how does Group Policy know which one I want to use??
I have also noticed that since dropping in the folders to ..\SYSVOL\<domain>\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\Office2013ADMX\<32/64>bit\admx\..that if I now open up a GPO and browse to Administrative Templates and try to add the policies there is now nothing showing as available.
I believe I'm somewhat confused and was hoping that someone could share their experience and/or folder structure? I also don't know what I'm supposed to do with the ADML and OPAX files??
Ay help greatly appreciated!
