Tamer-
Are you trying to remove the key or its value? REG DELETE, for example, only
removes values-not keys. You would need to manually (or via script) remove
the incorrect key, or use GP Preferences to do it.

Hi Alan,
The new key is "System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Terminal Server"
And not the same as the old key.
Also Alan you could review my frist email it has both ADM files containts.

Hi Tamer,
What is the new registry key? If it is not under Software/Policies then it
will be hidden unless you select to display Tattooed policies.
By default GPMC only displays "Non Tattooed" policies (i.e. those in the
"Software/Policies" or "Software/Microsoft/Current Version/Policies" keys).
On a Windows 2000 workstation, to see tattooed policies you must select
"Administrative Templates" in the left panel, then Unclick "View/Show
Policies Only".
On XP the setting is the "Only show policy settings that can be fully
managed" check box under "View/Filtering". You must uncheck it.

Thanks Alan,
I had just manage to do what you had mentioned to remove the ADM But I have
another issue that when I correct the registry key in the ADM file and add
it to the GP, I cannot see the item at the GPMC at all.
I think it may be a conflict with the old ADM? Don't know actually and it
confuses me.
Thanks

Hi,
Once the setting has been activated in the GPO, removing the ADM file is not
sufficient. All that this does is hide it in GPEDIT. If you put the ADM file
back in place, you will see that the setting is still enabled. You need to
put the ADM file back, change the setting to "not Applied" and then remove
the ADM file.
Alternatively you can leave the wrong key in the ADM file and change it to
DELETE. This will then remove the wrong key valuename from all the machines.

Subject: [gptalk] Delete a Custom ADM policy
I try to add a registry key to a registry using the ADM file, but I write a
wrong path to the registry key.
I tried to remove the custom ADM from the GP and manually delete the
registry key from the clients computers using REG DELETE. But I found that
the client computer is still having that key in the registry after
restarting?
What is the best way to do the following:-
1- Remove the incorrect ADM from the GP.
2- Remove the incorrect key from clients computers.
3- Reapplying the ADM after correcting the registry key.
The incorrect ADM is:
CLASS MACHINE
CATEGORY "Windows Components"
CATEGORY "Terminal Services"
KEYNAME "SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services"
POLICY !!ALLOW_TSMANAGER
#if version >= 4
SUPPORTED !!WinXP
#endif
EXPLAIN !!ALLOW_TSMANAGER_EXPLAIN
ACTIONLISTON
VALUENAME "AllowRemoteRPC" VALUE NUMERIC 1
END ACTIONLISTON
ACTIONLISTOFF
VALUENAME "AllowRemoteRPC" VALUE NUMERIC 0
END ACTIONLISTOFF
END POLICY
End Category
End Category
[strings]
WinXP="At least Windows XP Professional or Windows 2003 Server"
ALLOW_TSMANAGER="Allow access from Terminal Services Manager"
ALLOW_TSMANAGER_EXPLAIN="Allows administrators to use the Terminal Services
Manager to remote control the user session."
The correct ADM is:
CLASS MACHINE
CATEGORY "Windows Components"
CATEGORY "Terminal Services"
KEYNAME "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server"
POLICY !!ALLOW_TSMANAGER
#if version >= 4
SUPPORTED !!WinXP
#endif
EXPLAIN !!ALLOW_TSMANAGER_EXPLAIN
ACTIONLISTON
VALUENAME "AllowRemoteRPC" VALUE NUMERIC 1
END ACTIONLISTON
ACTIONLISTOFF
VALUENAME "AllowRemoteRPC" VALUE NUMERIC 0
END ACTIONLISTOFF
END POLICY
End Category
End Category
[strings]
WinXP="At least Windows XP Professional or Windows 2003 Server"
ALLOW_TSMANAGER="Allow access from Terminal Services Manager"
ALLOW_TSMANAGER_EXPLAIN="Allows administrators to use the Terminal Services
Manager to remote control the user session."
