Updating ADMX Templates in InTune
Hi There,
There currently doesn't appear to be a way to update ADMX templates, so I am wondering what the correct process is if you want to update the ADMX template to the latest version, currently the only way is the delete the ADMX template and re-upload, but what will happen to the existing policies if they use that ADMX template?
Will the policies be deleted too?
Also what happens if you delete and re-upload an ADMX template that is a dependency for another ADMX template?
Just want to know what the best practice is here and what will happen if I delete and update an existing template.
- Before I answer to your question, let me ask you one. Which ADMX template is in question here?
rahuljindal-MVP In this case I am referring to the Windows.admx template which the GoogleUpdate admx template is dependant on, but it would be good to know the general best practice for updating these templates.
Windows.admx template that was uploaded was for Windows 10, looking to upload the latest Windows 11 template version.
- I understand now. There is direct way to update the existing admx templates. However, the Windows admx template that you are referring to has backward compatibility so you can just upload the Windows 11 leaving the existing Windows 10 intact. Your existing template based policies should remain to apply as before.
- I actually didnt need to upload the ADMX template and used the built in options in the Settings configuration profile which already has all of the Windows Group Policies, also discovered there is a limit of 10 ADMX templates that can be uploaded which is very restrictive, so we'll save using ADMX templates for other applications if needed.
