A few months ago we upgrade our DCs from 2008 to 2008 R2.
Two weeks ago I saw that I didn’t copy the new admx/adml files to the central store.
Because I want to use the new policies, I copied all local files from one of the DC’s
%windir%\PolicyDefinitions
to the central store.Today I opened
rsop.msc
on one of the member servers and got a “parsing error”:**ADML** Administrative Templates Encountered an error while parsing. Expected one of the Following possible element(s), < text >, < decimalTextBox >, < textBox >, < checkBox >, < comboBox >, < dropdownList >, < listBox >, but Found < multiTextBox > instead. File \\contoso.com\sysvol\contoso. . . TerminalServer-Server.adml, line 198, column 60 **ADMX** Administrative Templates Encountered an error while parsing. Encountered an unknown error while parsing (error = 0x87400001): -2025848831 (0x87400001) File \\contoso.com\sysvol\conto. . . \Terminalserver-Server.admx, line 9, column 41
After restore of the old admx/adml it worked without problems.
Any ideas, whats wrong with the new admx/adml Templates?Update 16.01.2012
Could it be possible that the old “2008 SP2” Terminal Servers cannot work with the new (Remote Desktop Services) policies implemented with “2008 R2”?
Answer
See http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2009/12/09/windows-7-windows-server-2008-r2-and-the-group-policy-central-store.aspx as it explains the reason. Was the member server Windows Server 2008?
