Office 2007 adm Templates

[Andy Roche]

Hi
I've downloaded and installed the admintemplates for Office 2007. After
creating a GP with the save formats for excel, word set, when previewing the
settings in the GP Management Console I get the following error
The .adm file "Path-to-File"\cpao12.adm is not in a valid format and must be
replaced. Details: A String is expected at line 56.
I have created the GP on both a Winows XP Machine with SP2 and also a
Windows Vista Machine. Both GP's give the same error message. Has anyone a
solution for this?

I am having the same problem as well. Vista, XP SP2 & 2003 SP1 all
have this issue on my domain. Line 56 is quite harmless it seems.

It has come up before also:

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Here is a WORKARROUND, I'm still testing it.

Edit cpao12.adm using Notepad and change the following

Edit outlk12.adm using Notepad and change the following


KEYNAME Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Security
VALUEON NUMERIC 1

VALUENAME PromoteErrorsAsWarnings
EXPLAIN !!L_PromotingerrorsaswarningsExplain
END POLICY

TO

KEYNAME Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Security

Nice - that did it! Interesting changes, it seems as if there are some
issues with the parsing of the .adm file.

Thanks,
