Group Policy custom administrative templates 1

[wangchung617]

I'm trying to create a custom administrative template to add to a GPO to disable cd-rom autorun. I've imported the following into the policy but it doesn't appear to be working properly. The category gets listed under "Administrative Templates" but there are no setting within it. Can someone see any issues with syntax or something else wrong?

Thanks!



CLASS MACHINE

CATEGORY "CD-Rom Properties"

POLICY "AutoRun"

KEYNAME "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom"
EXPLAIN "Turns on/off the Autorun feature."
VALUENAME "AutoRun"
VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
VALUEON NUMERIC 1
END POLICY
END CATEGORY

What did you save the template as?
Also, from MS
"Note: If your new policy setting does not appear in the right pane as you expect, right-click the new Desktop Settings node, point to View, and then click to clear the check mark that is beside the Show Policies Only menu item.

Elmurado,

It's saved as an adm file, but the second portion of your message is what fixed the issue. I didn't realize I had filtering on the view.

Spent all day thinking I wasn't creating the templates correctly and it was a simple checkbox

Thanks!
