Update ADM Files
|
From: ScottB on 5 Nov 2007 13:58 I recently added a Vista machine to my SBS network, formerly all W-XP. The automatically installed Windows Vista policy includes a number of extra registry settings, at least one of which I want to change. (Policy won't allow the computer to sleep.) But it appears I need an updated ADM file to access the policy regarding extra registry settings. How do I accomplish this?
From: Costas on 5 Nov 2007 16:57 I don't believe that there have been Vista templates for Windows Server 2003 (and SBS 2003). The Power Management settings can be found in the Group Policy of the Vista workstation under: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Power Management Here is an article that basically says you need either the Vista machine or Windows Server 2003 to control these settings http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2006/11/VistaGPO/ -- Costas "ScottB" <ScottB(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:11302B4A-540B-42FC-8590-AE79D7BE01C6(a)microsoft.com... >I recently added a Vista machine to my SBS network, formerly all W-XP.

From: ScottB on 6 Nov 2007 13:27 The problem is that there's a "Windows Vista Policy" in SBS that (among other things) blocks sleep in the Vista machine. That policy was loaded automatically to SBS after I connected the Vista machine to the SBS network, and subsequently to the Vista machine (which worked fine until the server got to it!). BUT one can't edit the Extra Registry Settings part of the policy without the adm; that's what it says when you open it. Further, the policy looks like giberish. (all on the SBS 2003). Perhaps I can get at it on the Vista or tweak the registry directly, but I'm guessing the SBS has it locked or will set it back itself. Currently out of town and unable to experiment.

From: Costas on 6 Nov 2007 14:18 My personal computer is a Vista Ultimate and I can get to the Policy Settings you described without a problem. The SBS client Vista policy doesn't include the power settings because the Vista Group Policies are stored in a new format (ADMX). I don't think the SBS policy affects these new settings. -- Costas "ScottB" <ScottB(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F6E88D2D-AAE3-4F83-AEA7-BB3C1AA17CBF(a)microsoft.com... > The problem is that there's a "Windows Vista Policy" in SBS that (among > other > things) blocks sleep in the Vista machine.

From: ScottB on 6 Nov 2007 16:35 Me too -- personal computer and also home media center, also used for access to business network. I need a way to get at this. The windows vista policy in SBS (R2) provides for extra registry settings. Two of these are definitely power settings. One of them, definitely, sets the client to not sleep. When i go to the power settings in the Vista computer enable sleep is dimmed out. When i click on that, it says see my system administrator. I am my system administrator. These settings arrived without any intervention from me; my XP computers sleep just fine! If indeed i need files in the ADMX format (and it appears i do) to clear the sleep issue, then i remain with the question of how to get them into my server. Otherwise the settings cannot be edited if I understand correctly. "Costas" wrote: > My personal computer is a Vista Ultimate and I can get to the Policy > Settings you described without a problem.
