Hi, we're using Windows Server 2008 SBS and have just added our first Windows 7 client to the domain. I want to be able to administer its settings so I've located the Policy Files (in c:\windows\PolicyDefinitions and copied that directory into\\SERVER\SYSVOL\domain\Policies as described elsewhere.
When I start the Group Policy Editor these policy files are not automatically added. And if do an Add Templates, and navigate to the ADMX files, when I try to add one I get the message "only files that end with the adm extension can be added to this group policy object". I thought Server 2008 supported ADMX files, so why am I getting this message, and how can I enable the Windows 7 settings in my Group Policy Editor?
This post (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserverGP/thread/0e2dd2c5-87a8-4d4a-8ef5-b03ffcd392d3) has the same question but no answer other than use Server 2008 R2 - which will cost me money!
Thanks in advance.
