Hi Steve, We sell a product called ADM Template Editor. The Domain version of it provides a facility to generate an ADM template with entries for the "Extra Registry Settings" which you can then use to remove the settings. It could also be useful in rebuilding it if it is fairly large.

I have searched for the template and due to staffing changes, it appears lost. I am in the process of recreating it. Thanks for the help. Stephen Stephen W.

The GPMC really does not cope well with settings lists in group policy, even in the "standard" ADM templates. A good example are firewall exceptions - these are always listed as Extra Registry Settings. The easiest way to figure it out is, obviously, try and figure out what the value is and what template might have set it. Or even search for the registry string in your ADM templates (C:\Windows\Inf). If that doesn't work, as Darren suggests, create an ADM template for those values and turn them off that way.

It is apparent that the template does not exist and I need to remove these settings. I have search and cannot find any clear suggestions. Can anyone assist? Thanks Stephen W.
