These settings are located under the Administrative Templates category in the Group Policy Object Editor. Registry-based policy settings are defined as using a standards-based, XML file format known as ADMX, more commonly known as administrative templates. Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 introduced a new method of displaying settings within the Group Policy Management Console. So, they were difficult to manage for multinational companies. These files use their own markup language. Traditionally, the method of translating group policy settings into a user interface that could be easily managed was provided by ADM files. After the tool is shut down and then reopened, it will get the new ADMX files from the PolicyDefinitions folder. Any changes to the templates that occur while the tool is open don't appear, even after a report refresh. It's also important to consider that during the GPMC startup, the console caches the ADMX files into memory. So, it's unlikely to affect the environment. The existing deployment doesn't use those settings. They don't have any effect if they're added to an existing deployment. The following list of changes doesn't include the many new additional settings that are added to each template file.

It also indicates when a change affects only a specific build of the Group Policy ADMX template files. This article is separated into sections for each subsequent upgrade as they were released.

This is the first Windows 10 OS I have rolled out. Our environment is pretty much exclusively Windows 7. When I run gpresult /r, it pulls up all the correct groups that she is in. Drives are mapped, background is applied, printers map automatically, etc. If I look at her previous VM, running Windows 7, everything is correct. I did confirm that I added the new computer to the correct OU. I was able to join the VM to the domain, she can login, view shared folders and print on our network BUT it is not applying any of the group policies both the user and computer are in. I just installed a new VM running Windows 10. I have a user that is running Fusion on her Mac. I was hoping maybe someone might be able to give me some assistance here.
