[SOLVED] ADMX update in production

UCS - Univention Corporate Server

Hi Frank,

I guess, as the saying goes, there’s more than one way to skin a cat.
Your suggestion worked too.

For posterity:

  • ADMX and language files must be placed in /var/lib/samba/sysvol/<domain>/Policies/PolicyDefinitions/
  • they need to be owned by Administrator:Administrators with 770 permissions
  • All currently set GPOs reside in /var/lib/samba/sysvol/<domain>/Policies/ and thus are not linked to the templates in PolicyDefinitions. Templates can be removed/replaced, when needed, without affecting the current state of the domain.
  • It is near impossible to extract all GPO templates on UCS command line. Templates for various software come packaged in .msi, .cab, .zip and .exe with no common structure inside.

Although the UCS guide worked for some files, I would suggest to extract files on a Windows workstation and then delivering them to UCS.
