    i have 191 admx files in my central store. i highly doubt that they are all actually in use. is there a method to determine which administrative templates have at least one setting configured by at least one GPO?

    Hello,

    There isn't really a way (without a lot scripting).

    i have 191 admx files in my central store.

    That is not much.
    The Server 2012 and Windows 8 ADMX package is already 185 files.

    thanks Matthias. i know i've only manually imported a handful of admx files--office, chrome, bitlocker, etc. so i figured most of those 191 templates were "default" ones. but i'm still sure there are a lot in there whose settings i've never touched. i was more curious than anything.

    NO THEY ARE NOT EVIL, if you know what you are doing: Good or bad GPOs?
