MS Administrative Template not working



By default, Group Policy does not offer a facility to easily disable drives
containing removable media, such as USB ports, CD-ROM drives, Floppy Disk
drives and high capacity LS-120 floppy drives. However, Group Policy can be
extended to use customised settings by applying an ADM template. The ADM
template in this article allows an Administrator to disable the respective
drivers of these devices, ensuring that they cannot be used.

The article is located here:

After creating and adding the .adm file to the Adm templates and
configuring; successively applying the policy to the clients in the OU where
the policy links; it does not work. GPRESULT command gives no error and
reports that the policies have been correctly applied.

Maybe someone of you could test in his enviroment this .adm template created
by the MVP Simon Geary and give a feedback.


Thank you very much for your time,
