you don't "add/import" admx files. add/import tasks applies old-style .adm files.

on gpmc/gpme computer, assuming modern windows os version (win7 or newer, or, ws2008r2 or newer), copy office admx files c:\windows\policydefinitions\, , related office adml files relevant <muiculture> subfolder e.g. c:\windows\policydefinitions\en-us\

then freshly open gpmc/gpme , should able use office templates *only on computer*.

if use more 1 computer gpmc/gpme tasks, need place admx/adml files on other gpmc/gpme computers, noting needs modern os version.

if have central store implemented, need place admx/adml files cs once , *all* domain-member computers can access templates gpmc/gpme cs.

** if windows servers ws2008 (they not ws2008r2) - don't of this. because ws2008 winvista, it's old , throw errors newer admx/adml file content **

if don't have newer windows server os use, use workstation , install rsat tools on , admx/adml
templates on , use workstation gpmc/gpme.
