Issue – Active Directory – Update Group Policy Administrative Templates (ADMX) Files for Windows 10 1909 get an error (“string.Win7Only – line 12 column 69”)

Error words:

string.Win7Only
Line 12 Column 69

Hello,

we planed to create new Group Policy Objects (GPO) for Windows 10 1909. So we download the files from Microsoft -> https://www.microsoft.com/de-DE/download/details.aspx?id=58495 .

After we download the files, we copied and replaced them on the Domain Central Store ( https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/help/3087759/how-to-create-and-manage-the-central-store-for-group-policy-administra ).

To check if everything is fine, we opened the Group Policy Management, edit a existing GPO and have a look at the following:

GPO

Computer Configuration – Policies – Administrative Templates

So the result should like this:

And not what we have got:

Hmm, that’s not so cool, and now?

Let’s google a little bit and I found that -> https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4292332/error-when-you-open-gpedit-msc-in-windows

Ok for 1909 ADMX files, we need some missing files from 1803.

Perfect, that’s was the solution for us.

Cheers,

Rolf
