An ADMX file can either be shipped with Windows (located at `%SystemRoot%\policydefinitions`) or it can be ingested to a device through the Policy CSP URI (`./Vendor/MSFT/Policy/ConfigOperations/ADMXInstall`). Inbox ADMX files are processed into MDM policies at OS-build time. ADMX files that are ingested are processed into MDM policies post-OS shipment through the Policy CSP. Because the Policy CSP does not rely upon any aspect of the Group Policy client stack, including the PC’s Group Policy Service (GPSvc), the policy handlers that are ingested to the device are able to react to policies that are set by the MDM.

Windows maps the name and category path of a Group Policy to a MDM policy area and policy name by parsing the associated ADMX file, finding the specified Group Policy, and storing the definition (metadata) in the MDM Policy CSP client store. When the MDM policy is referenced by a SyncML command and the Policy CSP URI, `.\[device|user]\vendor\msft\policy\[config|result]\<area>\<policy>`, this metadata is referenced and determines which registry keys are set or removed. For a list of ADMX-backed policies supported by MDM, see [Policy CSP - ADMX-backed policies](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/mdm/policy-admx-backed).
