Im making new GPO for Windows 11 but also server 2019 n 2022 based of CIS recommendations.

Now im at a point where I need to update the admx template files on my DC.

My questions is:

  • Does windows 11 admx templates contain server 2019 n 2022 admx too? As i can find admx for server too but then that will overwrite for windows 11 right?
  • What happens to existing GPOs when updating admx files, nothing right?

Thanks a lot!

    Hi@S3C

    The Windows 11 admx template also contains Windows Server 2019&2022 Admx.

    Typically, whether admx overrides depends on the old or new version, not server or windows 11.

    ADMX Central Store-based updates do not affect existing GPOs.

    Best Regards,
