Microsoft Edge Chromium - msedge.admx error with the latest version 84.0.522.52

Question

Hello,

I have 2 DC servers 2019 and I want to manage Edge Chromium via GPO.
First I followed that link to set it up https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/configure-microsoft-edge.
Unfortunatelly after copying the msedge.admx file to the PolicyDefinition folder in systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions, it was not possible to seeall other templates.
So I decided to copy on both servers the admx file in C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions.

I set up a GPO and everything worked properly.
Today I downloaded the latest msedge.admx and copied in the same folder on each server but when I openned the GPO, I got that error

Can you please help me to fix that issue?

Thanks and Regards,
William

Hi,
Welcome to post here!

1,If you want to create and manage the Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Templates in Windows, we need to create a folder named PolicyDefinitions under %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies as you already.

When you said it was not possible to see all other templates,it is because we need copy all the files to it or down load it .
For example, we copy all the files under from one of your DCs under %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions . Then the files will all display.
Then you have to copy the msedge.admx file to the PolicyDefinitions folder in systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions
Copy the msedge.adml file to the PolicyDefinitions folder in systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions

2,If you don't want to use the central store, delete the PolicyDefinitions folder under %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies(it is not existed by default)if you have already created it.
Copy the msedge.admx file to PolicyDefinitions under %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions for all your DCs
Copy the msedge.adml file to PolicyDefinitions under %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions for all your DCs


Best Regards,
