: Open up the GPO that you want the policy to be imported into (the one
where
: the users will be affected). Then, open up the User
: Configuration|Administrative Templates. Right-click on Administrative
: Templates and select Add template. You can select the template that you
: create from the code I gave you and the settings will show up.
:
: make sure you do the following:
: 1) save the code in a file named with an extension of ADM
: 2) make sure your GPO settings when you are editing are set to show all
: policies, not just the built in ones. (Under the View menu option... make
: sure Show Policies Only is NOT selected)
