I'm trying to add an administrative template for Adobe 6 to a new group
policy in Active Directory 2000. I can successfully load the file into the
GP by right clicking "Administrative Templates"|Add/Remove Templates and
adding the AR60.adm file (shown below). The problem is that none of the adm
options for user or computer are showing up int the details pane of the
group policy. Why is this?
Thanks,
Jim

I responded earlier to a similar question:

Group Policy editor by default hides policies that modify registry values
outside of the 4 special policy keys. In order for you to see the policy
you need to do the following:

On Windows 2000:
1. Select Administrative Templates
2. Under the View menu at the top remove the check from "Show policies only"

On Windows XP/2003
1. Select Administrative Templates
2. Under the View menu at the top, click Filtering
3. Uncheck "Only show policy settings that can be fully managed"
Note: anytime this policy is edited you will need to remove that check to
see it.
