Vista Central Store Creator Utility
Updated version 1.1 released!
This utility simplifies the creation of
the "Central Store" for storing Vista ADMX/ADML templates. Its a very simple
utility. In the domain name dialog, you enter the DN of the domain where you
want to create the central store. This gets autopopulated if you run the
tool from a computer already in a domain. Next, you press the "Check Central
Store" button and the tool checks to see if the Central Store exists
already. Ff not, you are prompted to create it. By default, the tool only
looks in %windir%\policydefinitions on the machine where its running, as
uses the contents found there to populate the central store. When you say
'yes' to creating the central store, all files found locally (including ADML
files) are copied up to the newly created Central Store folder, which is by
default, in \\<domain>\sysvol\<domain>\policies\policydefinitions. That's
all there is to it!
Requirements:
You need the .Net Framework 2.0 installed on the
machine where you run this utility from. The utility is meant to be run from
Vista.
