What are administrative templates?..

Answer / azad

Administrative Templates are a feature of Group Policy, a
Microsoft technology for centralised management of machines
and users in an Active Directory environment.

Administrative Templates facilitate the management of
registry-based policy. An ADM file is used to describe both
the user interface presented to the Group Policy
administrator and the registry keys that should be updated
on the target machines. An ADM file is a text file with a
specific syntax which describes both the interface and the
registry values which will be changed if the policy is
enabled or disabled.

ADM files are consumed by the Group Policy Object Editor
(GPEdit). Windows XP Service Pack 2 shipped with five ADM
files (system.adm, inetres.adm, wmplayer.adm, conf.adm and
wuau.adm). These are merged into a unified "namespace" in
GPEdit and presented to the administrator under the
Administrative Templates node (for both machine and user
policy).
Group Policy gives you administrative control over users and
computers in your network. By using Group Policy, you can
define the state of a user's work environment once, and then
rely on Windows...
