Question regarding MSCT 1.0 baselines for Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022

Hi All,


I have a mix of Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022 Domain Controllers.

Given the above, what admx and adml files should I copy to the respective SYSVOL folders:
C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\Policies
C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\en-US

E.G. If you look in the Templates folder for 2016, 2019, and 2022 they all have the same filenames and will overwrite each other.


I'm assuming I should use Windows Server-2022-Security-Baseline-FINAL, but won't this have incompatibilities with 2016/2019 DCs?
