Is upgrading *.ADM/*.ADML to *.ADMX on your DC central store imperative to managing IE 10/11?

Is upgrading *.ADM/*.ADML to *.ADMX on your DC central store imperative to managing IE 10/11?
I just got thrown into this and now I am seeing that they have not upgraded the central store at this time and we are having a difficult time pushing out preferences and policies to IE 10 users.
Thank You
John Millsap

If you have a CS implemented, you will need to maintain/update the ADMX/ADML files to the relevant versions, yes.
If you don't have a CS implemented, you need to maintain/update the ADMX/ADML files on the computer where you edit GPO.
ADM files are not used in a CS scenario at all.
Preferences does not require ADM/ADMX/ADML at all - GPP doesn't use template files at all.
Implementing a CS, or having a CS, is not a requirement for managing IE settings (nor is it a requirement for managing any other GP settings)
[ CS is a good idea, but it isn't ever a requirement ]

  • I have already posted this question once already but I can't find it! I'm using a Mac, using OS 10.4.11, I keep getting notifictions to upgrade to 3.6.22, however, your site says that they are NOT compatible; what doI do now?

    I did ask this question before, about a week - week and a half ago. However, it had not received any answers after about 4 days. My browser crashed and I lost the page!
    Anyway, I keep getting notifications indicating that I need to download update 3.6.22. This site says that it is NOT to be used with OS X 10.4.11. So, what's the real deal? can I, better yet - should I download and use 3.6.22?
    Additionally, what are we supposed to do when, as the notification on this site states, that 3.6 is only temporary, when it is what taken out of usability status? ?
    I'm running a G4 DP, 500 MHz, with 512 MB RAM. I'm using an Earthlink dial-up account.
    DOES anybody have an answer to the above questions? Do you need any additional information?

    Yup, your question and Diane's answer helped me also. Tho' I had had problems before getting into the iTunes store I always managed to find a way. Today they had me blocked cold with the "Update to 10" advert no matter what I did. Other questioners are being told, incorrectly as it turns out, that they have to update their OS to accomodate iTunes 10 and upgrade to iTunes 10. I did the download which did not take up much more room on my crowded old hard drive and now I'm back in business.

  • Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer? I usually sync to my tower at home, but only have access to my laptop now. My laptop is authorized to the same iTunes account as the tower. If I do a software update for the iPhone on the laptop's copy of iTunes, will it wipe away my music that isn't from the iTunes store, etc?
    Thanks,
    Will

    Yes, but all your data will be replaced by whatever is on this other computer. So if you don't want that to happen wait and install on the computer with which the device is normally synced.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 SQL Database Upgrade Fails : Setup cannot upgrade the ConfigMgr database. Contact your SQL administrator.

    Hi Friends,
    We have planned to upgrade our SCCM 2012 SP1 infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2 so we have setup test environment to test SQL database upgrade before doing same in production.
    But while testing SQL database upgrade on test machine, it is getting failed with below error.
    ConfigMgrSetupWizard.log
    ConfigMgrSetupWizard Verbose: 1 : Scripted setup failure handling callback called. Failure: 29.
    ConfigMgrSetupWizard Verbose: 1 : Received error [Setup cannot upgrade the ConfigMgr database. Contact your SQL administrator.] from native code.

    Can anyone please help to get this resolved.
    Thanks. 

    We found out that there were duplicate entries in the PkgStatus_G and the PkgServers_G tables in the SCCM DB.  We identified them, deleted them , and then we were able to run the /TESTDBUPGRADE command and it went through fine.  We performed
    all of this on a COPY of the PROD DB and then moved the changes in PROD.  Hope this helps someone.

  • Mac OSX cannot be upgraded to v.10.5 on your computer

    I have a Macbook Pro that is 3 months old running 10.4.11. I am trying to upgrade to leopard and repeatedly get the error:
    Mac OSX cannot be upgraded to v.10.5 on your computer. / Mac OSX v.10.4 or later could not be found on your computer.
    Then when I run a verify on my hard drive I get this error:
    Verifying volume “Hard Drive”
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Invalid record count
    The volume Hard Drive needs to be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    But it won't allow me to repair the hard drive when running Disk Utility from the leopard cd. I also have boot camp installed, could this be causing conflicts? Does anyone have any suggestions or am I going to have to wipe my comp and start with a clean install. It's not a huge problem although I don't have access to some of the install discs for 3rd party software (i.e. quickbooks, office, photoshop, illustrator) can I just drag these back into the apps folder after I install?

    Try rebooting with the install/backup CD that came with your new machine. Hold down the letter C from the point of rebooting until you see the spinning activity monitor icon. Running disk utilities and repairing the disk from your 10.4x install disc may have more luck than using the Leopard CD.
    Once the volume is repaired, you should be good to go. I hope that helps!

    Update Software button is available in iOS 5 and later iOSs.
    Currently, you need to take the iTunes route.
    Don't forget to backup.

  • "Mac OSX cannot be upgraded to v.10.5 on your computer" --a brand new MBP.

    I have a new MacBook Pro (one week old), which, according to the Mac store, was supposed to arrive with 10.5 already installed. Instead, I was sent the MBP along with the 10.5 installation disc ("Here, do it yourself!").
    First, I updated to 10.4.11. Then I ran the 10.5 installation disc. I get the error message:
    Mac OSX cannot be upgraded to v.10.5 on your computer. / Mac OSX v.10.4 or later could not be found on your computer.
    What? Am I missing something really obvious? Any one else encounter this?
    (After reading at least 20 topics in this forum, I'm afraid to run 10.5; as if it may just cause even more problems.)
    So, if any one else has seen this error message, how did you resolve it?

    I bet if you hadn't done that it would have worked fine.
    Since it is a new computer, just re-partition the drive and install 10.5.
    That won't work because the DVD will probably look for Tiger on the computer. The DVD is an upgrade not a full install, AFAIK from other posts.
    The only solution is to reinstall Tiger and then Leopard. But why? If the OP bought a new machine with Leopard and it was not installed it's an older model and should be exchanged for a new one with Leopard preinstalled.

  • We could not complete your Apple iTunes Store request. Unknown error 5002.

    I upgraded to iTunes 7.7.0.43 and am no longer able to connect to the iTunes Store with my AppleID. Here is the exact message I receive:
    +"*We could not complete your Apple iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002).*+
    +There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."+
    Well...I've tried for two+ days now. I've been through all of the help/debugging suggestions (e.g., flushed dns, checked firewall, etc.) but still no luck. Please note that I AM able to connect to the iTunes Store using an older AppleID, but it's not the one that has an account balance.
    Please help!!

    FYI - I don't think this is a PC configuration/firewall issue. I went to the local Apple store last night and asked them if I could try connecting to the iTunes Store using my AppleID from one of their systems. I still received the same error:
    +"*We could not complete your Apple iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002).+*
    +There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."+
    Since I can connect to the iTunes Store from my PC using other AppleID's, it stands to reason that this particular problem is with the iTunes Store servers and not with the PC configuration.

  • Upgrade Group Policy Central Store

     Hi everyone,
    Currently I have a windows server 2008 R2 domain environment with windows 7 client computers, the policy definitions are stored in the Central Store.
    I have a very simple question but I can't find the answer..
    I want to test the windows 8.1 group policy definitions but can I just overwrite the current windows 7 definitions with the new windows 8.1 definitions
    without destroying the current group policy's ??
    Thnx,
    Pouyan

    The Central Store basically lets your GPMC see what settings you can configure. Here is a guide on updating the central store plus links to another ADMX templates you might want to include.

  • Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.

    Probably will never ever think of buying a locked phone from AT&T cause its one of the worst system integrations ever that these companies could think of.
    The entire problem started when I put in a request with at&t to unlock my iphone 4s (ios7) which did get approved. I performed the entire instructions they asked me to do, which is to backup and restore. After doing those instructions my iphone gave me an error message below
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
    Basically saying that at&t hasn't still unlocked the iphone which a really helpful apple executive was able to confirm. I initiated another unlock process from at&t in order to unlock the iphone, just to be sure that its not something wrong from my end. The nice at&t lady stayed on chat with me to unlock the iphone step my step while I was calling the apple tech too. And the apple tech confirmed again that the iphone is locked to at&t.
    Now, just a few minutes ago I tried another restore to see if any progress is being made and to my surprise I got an error message saying
    Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.
    I feel like I am just going around these two different "money hogger" companies which set certain rules and regulations to screw a regular phone buyer. I purchased this iphone in USA and trying to unlock in India, is it really this hard to simply unlock a device.
    For now I am going to try to call a apple office in india (apprently we don't have very many out here) and see if they can help me. But any other assistance regarding unlocking an iphone 4s would be helpful. I have however, tried checking IMEI.info, called up apple, talked to at&t (which always say go talk to apple) I do have a case number from apple as well in case an apple executive reads this discussion forum (case number: 566383594)
    Thanks

    You got a confirmation from AT&amp;T that it was authorized. Is this correct? - Yes i did get an email authorization on the 21st.
    Then you connected the phone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed. You clicked on the phone's name in iTunes, then clicked "Backup Now". - Yes
    When that finished you clicked "Restore iPhone" (NOT "Restore Backup") - Yes
    Are you with me so far? - Yes.
    And @ Varjak is right that after the 3rd restore I get the replacement error. 
    Plus I have NEVER jailbroken the iPhone. To give you another update, I spoke to a really nice apple tech in India who was atleast able to get me out of the replacement error by doing a recovery mode option. However, the lastest restore still gives me the same error
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

  • After upgrading my iphone 5 to IOS 7, the iTunes Store won't open. Is there a fix for this?

    After upgrading my iphone 5 to IOS 7, the iTunes Store won't open. Is there a fix for this?

    I had the same thing yesterday. After google gave me nothing and after I was sure my phone had enough charge to restart, I did a reset on my phone...
    Holding down the Power button, volume button and selector button on the front - for about 30 secs (or untill I knew the beeping had stopped).
    I cant remember if I then restarted it or it it restarted itself, but now its back to normal! No memory loss from the phone either.
    Freeked me out as its a new iphone 4s but glad to have it back! Without having to take it to get fixed by a pro.
    Hope that helps
