Group Policy Editor – Disabling custom.adm template filtering

Posted on September 8th, 2008

When editing a Group Policy in Group Policy Object Editor (gpedit.msc), the settings may be missing from a recently added custom template (.adm).

The adm template may be configured with a filter that hides the settings in it’s default view.

To disable the filter so that all settings can be edited, do the following:

Right click on the relevant user configuration | administrative template and select filtering

Unselect the option to ‘only show policy settings that can be fully managed’

All the settings will now appear and can be managed.
