  Hi Prabhu, I would request which adm/admx templates are required to be in place. Thanks, Amit Jogi

  Thank you very much Martin and Prabhu. I was able to configure the Removable Storage Access by importing the RemovableStorage.admx/adml into the PolicyDefinitions.

  Hi Amit

  When I installed these 2 msi's, the install was successful, but I did not get to see where .admx or .adm got installed (what folder, where?).

  Therefore I still cannot see RemovableStorage when I go to Add Templates.

  Can you advise me?

  Thanks, Glenn

  Hi Glenn,

  When you install the MSI, all the .admx files shall get extracted to c:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions and .adml files shall get extracted to c:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US folder in the machine on which you run the MSI.

  Browse the folders and search for .admx and .adml files that you need. In this case, RemovableStorage.admx and RemovableStorage.adml

  Now, you need to copy both these files under SYSVOL folder of your domain controller at below paths:

  • Copy RemovableStorage.admx in \sysvol\<YOUR-DOMAIN-NAME>\Policies\PolicyDefinitions
  • Copy RemovableStorage.adml in \sysvol\<YOUR-DOMAIN-NAME>\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\en-us

  Once you copy these files at above given folders respectively, you should see the related group policy setting in GPMC.

  All the best and let me know whether you achieved the objective or not.

  Thanks,

  Amit Jogi
