    Hi. Thank you for your question and reaching out. I’d be more than happy to help you with your query

    To view the version of an ADMX file, you can open the file in a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit and look for the "Version" line at the top of the file. The version is listed in the format of major.minor.build, for example 10.0.14393. The major version number indicates a major update, the minor version number indicates a minor update, and the build indicates a specific build number.

    Is there any other way such as command rather than looking one by one for the admx file

    Hi @ネパリ サンデャ

    Unfortunately , there is no Powershell command to manage admx directly. The powershell module for GPO provide a basic commands. Many actions can be performed only mannually.
    You should create a Powershell script to read the content of admx file.

    My recommendation before adding new admx file , it de test it before in non production envirement in order to control its impact on existing GPOs.
