## <a href="" id="overview"></a>Overview

Starting in Windows 10, version 1703, you can import ADMX files (also called ADMX ingestion) and set those ADMX-backed policies for Win32 and Desktop Bridge apps by using Windows 10 Mobile Device Management (MDM) on desktop SKUs. The ADMX files that define policy information can be ingested to your device by using the Policy CSP URI, `./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/ConfigOperations/ADMXInstall`. The ingested ADMX file is then processed into MDM policies.

When the ADMX policies are imported, the registry keys to which each policy is written are checked so that known system registry keys, or registry keys that are used by existing inbox policies or system components, are not overwritten. This precaution helps to avoid security concerns over opening the entire registry. Currently, the ingested policies are not allowed to write to locations within the **System**, **Software\Microsoft**, and **Software\Policies\Microsoft** keys, except for the following locations:

- Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\
- Software\Microsoft\Office\
- Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
- Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
- software\policies\microsoft\shared tools\proofing tools\

The following ADMX file example shows how to ingest a Win32 or Desktop Bridge app ADMX file and set policies from the file. The ADMX file defines eight policies.

**Request Syncml**

The ADMX file is escaped and sent in SyncML format through the Policy CSP URI, `./Vendor/MSFT/Policy/ConfigOperations/ADMXInstall/{AppName}/{SettingType}/{FileUid or AdmxFileName}`.
When the ADMX file is imported, the policy states for each new policy are the same as those in a regular MDM policy: Enabled, Disabled, or Not Configured. 

The following example shows an ADMX file in SyncML format:

### <a href="" id="uri-format-for-configuring-an-app-policy"></a>URI format for configuring an app policy 

The following example shows how to derive a Win32 or Desktop Bridge app policy name and policy area name:

```XML
<categories>
    <category name="ParentCategoryArea"/>
    <category name="Category1">
      <parentCategory ref="ParentCategoryArea" />
    </category>
    <category name="Category2">
      <parentCategory ref="ParentCategoryArea" />
    </category>
    <category name="Category3">
      <parentCategory ref="Category2" />
    </category>
  </categories>
<policy name="L_PolicyPreventRun_1" class="User" displayName="$(string.L_PolicyPreventRun)" explainText="$(string.L_ExplainText_PreventRun)" presentation="$(presentation.L_PolicyPreventRun_1)" key="software\policies\contoso\companyApp" valueName="preventrun">
      <parentCategory ref="Category3" />
      <supportedOn ref="windows:SUPPORTED_Windows7" />
      <enabledValue>
        <decimal value="1" />
      </enabledValue>
      <disabledValue>
        <decimal value="0" />
      </disabledValue>
    </policy>
```

As documented in [Policy CSP](policy-configuration-service-provider.md), the URI format to configure a policy via Policy CSP is: 
'./{user or device}/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/{AreaName}/{PolicyName}'.

**User or device policy**

In the policy class, the attribute is defined as "User" and the URI is prefixed with `./user`.
If the attribute value is "Machine", the URI is prefixed with `./device`.
If the attribute value is "Both", the policy can be configured either as a user or a device policy.

The policy {AreaName} format is {AppName}~{SettingType}~{CategoryPathFromAdmx}.
{AppName} and {SettingType} are derived from the URI that is used to import the ADMX file. In this example, the URI is: `./Vendor/MSFT/Policy/ConfigOperations/ADMXInstall/ContosoCompanyApp/Policy/AppAdmxFile01`.

{CategoryPathFromAdmx} is derived by traversing the parentCategory parameter. In this example, {CategoryPathFromAdmx} is ParentCategoryArea~Category2~Category3. Therefore, {AreaName} is ContosoCompanyApp~ Policy~ ParentCategoryArea~Category2~Category3.

Therefore, from the example:
   - Class: User
   - Policy name: L_PolicyPreventRun_1
   - Policy area name: ContosoCompanyApp~Policy~ParentCategoryArea~Category2~Category3
   - URI: `./user/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ContosoCompanyApp~Policy~ParentCategoryArea~Category2~Category3/L_PolicyPreventRun_1`
