| ADMXIngestion (Windows 10) | This section describes the ADMXIngestion settings that you can configure in provisioning packages for Windows 10 using Windows Configuration Designer. | w10 | deploy | library | jdeckerMS | medium | jdecker | article | 09/06/2017 |
ADMXIngestion (Windows Configuration Designer reference)
Starting in Windows 10, version 1703, you can import (ingest) select Group Policy administrative templates (ADMX files) and configure values for ADMX-backed policies in a provisioning package. To see which types of ADMX-backed policies can be applied, see Win32 and Desktop Bridge app policy configuration overview.
- The settings under ConfigADMXInstalledPolicy allow you to set values for policies in the imported ADMX file.
- The settings under ConfigOperations specify the ADMX file to be imported.
Important
Only per-device policies can be set using a provisioning package.

ConfigADMXInstalledPolicy
Important
Configure the settings to import the ADMX file in ConfigOperations first.
In ConfigADMXInstalledPolicy, you provide a policy setting and value for that policy from the imported ADMX. You will need information from the ADMX that you import in ConfigOperations to complete ConfigADMXInstalledPolicy.
-
Enter an area name, and then click Add. The structure of the area name is the following:
AppName (from ConfigOperations)SettingTypecategory name from ADMXSee Category and policy in ADMX for more information. A setting may have multiple levels of category names, as in the following example.
Example:
Office16~Policy~L_MicrosoftOfficemachine~L_Updates -
Select the area name in the Customization pane, enter a policy name from the ADMX, and then click Add. For example,
L_HideEnableDisableUpdates. -
Select the policy name in the Customization pane, and then enter a value from the ADMX in the text field. For example,
<disabled/>.
ConfigOperations
Use ConfigOperations to import an ADXM file or policies from an ADMX file.
-
Enter an app name, and then click Add.
This can be any name you assign, so choose something descriptive to help you identify its purpose. For example, if you are importing ADMX for Office 16, enter an app name of Office 16.
-
Select the app name in the Customizations pane, select a setting type, and then click Add.
The choices, Policy and Preference, have no impact on the behavior of the settings, and are only provided for your convenience should you want to categorize the settings you add.
-
Select the setting type in the Customizations pane. In the AdmxFileUid field, enter the name of the ADMX file or a unique ID for the file, and then click Add.
The AdmxFileUid can be any string, but must be unique in the provisioning package. Using the name of the ADMX file will help you identify the file in the future.
-
Select the AdmxFileUid in the Customizations pane, and paste the contents of the ADMX file in the text field. Before copying the contents of the ADMX file, you must convert it to a single-line. See Convert multi-line to single line for instructions.
Note
When you have a large ADMX file, you may want to only include specific settings. Instead of pasting in the entire ADMX file, you can paste just one or more specific policies (after converting them to single-line).
-
Repeat for each ADMX, or set of ADMX policies, that you want to add, and then configure ConfigADMXInstalledPolicy for each one.
Use the following PowerShell cmdlet to remove carriage returns and line feeds from a multi-line file to create a single-line file that you can paste in AdmxFileUid.
$path="file path"
(Get-Content $admxFile -Raw).Replace("`r`n","") | Set-Content $path -Force
Category and policy in ADMX
The following images show snippets of the ADMX file for Office 16 that are used in the examples in the procedures above. The first image highlights the category names.
