I'm going to post a topic here on the blog that affects administrators of Windows systems in companies. How do you actually make sure that the central ADMX store for Windows group policies always stays up to date and can be restored in case of corruption? Without up-to-date ADMX files in the store, group policies can't really be used efficiently.

It's imho a problem that didn't exist like this before Windows 10 and Microsoft's as-a-service approach with other products like Office or Edge, etc. You only had to update the ADM(X) files at long intervals. The constant Windows 10/11 feature updates and updates to other Microsoft products mean that the ADMX files are constantly changing.

Backup and update of the Windows ADMX Store
Blog reader Karl got me thinking about the topic for this blog post on Twitter. Karl supports various business customers with Windows systems. It is important to have an updated ADMX store for Windows in a central location. And to be able to react quickly in case of a disaster, backups for recovery are also important. Karl puts this up for debate in the following tweet.

The short message is actually quite unspectacular: remember to update the centralized ADMX store regularly and don't fail to keep all ADMX files up to date. This is the only way you can use the potential of the latest group policies.

A suggested solution
That Twitter can be a helpful medium, proves itself also in this case. Dennis Mohrmann points in this tweet to a script (EverGreenAdmx), which should at least keep the ADMX files up to date.

Msfreaks has provided the script in question on GitHub and writes: After setting up several Windows virtual desktop environments, I decided I didn't want to manually download the admx files I needed, and I wanted a way to keep them up to date.
