(Sorry for the cross post, not sure which category this question would best fit.) Windows Server 2003 has a new Group Policy Manager plug-in that gives one a resultant set of policies report. I'm having a weird problem trying to generate a report on a 2003 server. It worked before. I have an XP lab that was recently upgraded to SP2. Microsoft released new ADM files to handle all the new features in SP2 (such as the firewall and pop-up blocker), as well as a hotifx 842933 to allow 2000 & 2003 servers to work with the new ADM files. I installed the hotfix, restarted, then installed the new ADM files. I replaced these ADM files: From the desktop end, everything seems ok, but when I try to go to the Group Policy Manager to do a report, I get the following error: The .adm file "C:\WINDOWS\inf\wmplayer.adm" is not in a valid format and must be replaced. Details: A string is expected at line 0 Any suggestions? I can uninstall the hotfix, and I kept backup copies of the older ADM files, just in case. They were installed the normal way, just by going to group policy and selecting Add/Remove Templates. Thanks for any suggestions, Sir Timbit

Windows Server 2003. Solved the problem. Somehow the OS ate the ADM files I just put there (in c:\windows\inf.) I copied them a second time, ran the report and this time it was error free. Not sure if it was a Windows file protection issue or what, but it's good now. Tinfoil hat removed!
