Hi all,
I would centralize Microsoft Edge Chromium management.
I have downloaded ADMX file so I can will create group policy.

I have copyed msedge.admx and msedgeupdate.admx inside this path

After that I tried to create GPO but I can't do it.
In fact I get this error:

I do not understand where is my mistake.
I have copied this files using Domain Administrator Account of Active Directory.

How can I solve it? Thanks!

    Hi,

    Based on my experience, the issue was caused by missing the ADML file.
    To add the administrative template to Active Directory:

    1,Copy the msedge.admx file to the PolicyDefinition folder. (Example: %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions)
    2,In the admx folder, open the appropriate language folder. For example, if you’re in the U.S., open the en-US folder.
    3,Copy the msedge.adml file to the matching language folder in the PolicyDefinition folder. Create the folder if it does not already exist. (Example: %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US)

    If your domain has more than one domain controller, the new ADMX files will be replicated to them at the next domain replication interval.

    To confirm the files loaded correctly, open the Group Policy Management Editor from Windows Administrative Tools and expand Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge. You should see one or more Microsoft Edge nodes as shown below.

    Hi @Fan Fan ,
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    I have followed your steps.

    1) I have copied ADMX files about Microsoft Edge inside %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions

    After that I have done the same about language. I have done for English Language and Italian Language (I live in Italy, so to be sure I have copied italian files too).

    Finally I have opened Group Policy Management from Server Manager and I see new options about Microsoft Edge (about Computer Level and User level)

    Thanks so much!

    I have just a questions about ADML files:
    Are ADML language files necessary for Server Side (when I create configuration using GPO) or for Client Side (client computer language)?

    Finally, old MS Edge Policy settings are under "Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge"
    instead new MS Edge Policy settings are under "Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge"
    Is it correct?

    Thanks so much for your help!
