    Is it neccessary to have this ADM file template added to GPO's? The reason I'm asking is...I just took over as GPO Manager for an Army installation and I see one GPO that has this particular adm file added. I'm in the process of moving end users and machines to a Restructure OU's in AD. I'm building all new GPO's for the new Restructure OU's and need to know if I need to search and find this adm file to add. Also, I'm in between XP and Vista machines but using 2003 servers.

    Any help is appreciated

    Thanks

    If you don't have AER settings in your GPOs, you don't need the corresponding ADM file.
    Just use GPMC reporting to check this.
    Removing an ADM from a GPO never harms the GPO anyway. The settings within will not change.
    ADM files only add management functionality. If the ADM is removed, those settings can no longer be edited.

    Note:
    Especially for AER sometimes you find several adm files ("AER_xxxx.adm") on your machine with different languages which produce a strange effect in GPEdit. You can delete them (I think AER_1033.adm is the English one, so maybe keep this one as backup).
