1) Creating a GPO does not necessarily create the ADMX files (read
up on the ADMX central store concept), but your basic assumption is
correct. ADMX based policies should be edited from Vista/Server 2008
systems.
2) Yes. XP would apply the Vista/2008 specific settings, but will
essentially ignore whatever they don't use in most cases.

So let me give a real world example to make sure I understand it
correctly.
I go onto Server 2008, create the GPO in GPMC which creates the ADMX.
1. Further modifications of this GPO will need to be modified in
Server 2008 due to the GPO creating an ADMX. Correct?
2. If deployed at the root domain, XP clients and Server 2003
clients will still apply this GPO as long as the settings modified in
Server 2008 GPMC are available in XP. Correct? If so, what happens if
the GPO you created contain options that are only available Vista but
also contain options available in XP? Will XP fail at applying this GPO
or will it only apply the options it knows about and simply ignore the
rest of the options only available in Vista?

It should not affect the actual application of policy to a system, you
just won't be able to edit ADMX based policies on anything other than
Server 2008 or Vista.
The actual policy settings are not contained in the ADM/ADMX files
themselves. They are just a roadmap that tells the Group Policy Object
Editor console how to edit the registry.pol file in the GPO.
Hope this clears it up for you.

Subject: [gptalk] ADMX and Co-existence with Pre-Vista/2k8
So let's say I decide to implement Server 2008 and will be co-existing
with Server 2003 for a while and 50% of my clients are XP and 50% are
Vista.
Vista and Server 2008 support ADMX and I know I'll need to use Server
2008 to manage the ADMX files. My question is, if I use Server 2008 to
create a GPO, I know it will be created in ADMX and if I use Server 2003
to create a GPO, it'll be in ADM.
My question is, if I do use Server 2008 to create the ADMX at the root
of the domain so it applies to all computers in the entire domain, how
will the XP clients and Server 2003 servers look at this ADMX? Will it
just ignore it? Is there a patch to make Server 2003 and XP machines
understand how to apply ADMX? What is the end result?
Thanks,
Elan
