How to write an ADM file? 

It is very important to understand the ADM language for GPO Admins. At least you can fix an error with ADM. Find the below links for How to write a ADM file. Now a day ADMX/ADML is used for windows 2008.

ADM Location: "%SystemRoot%\Inf" folder
ADMX Location "%systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions" folder

You can convert ADM to ADMX, download the below Tool.

    Hi Biswajit Biswas, Thanks a lot for the excellent article. But I am totally new to ADMX & GPO. Will you be able to help me with some detailed steps. I am trying to add a site to Trusted SIte.

    If I do through GPO, it disables the option for the user to add by his own and I dont want that to happen.

    I understand this can be achieved through ADMX. But dont know how to use it. Please can you let me know the details. Our environment uses Windows Server 2008 R2; Windows 8 (few); Windows 7; Windows XP (some with SP2). And few Windows Server 2003 & 2003 R2 Servers. Domain functional level is Windows Server 2003.

    Thanks

    Riaz

    Thanks
