Hi Scott and Jerry, Thanks for your support. Yes, Version 4 of my software does handle conversion of ADM files to ADMX files. Having said that, I tried converting the 2003 ADM files yesterday and found a bug in converting Checkboxes with multiple registry keys. So I hope to have a new version of my program out today and I will post the converted ADMX files then...

As an added bonus, the person behind SysProSoft, Alan Cuthbertson, hangs out on this list.

When I have run into issues with a direct conversion of an ADM template with the Full Armor tool, I have had some success by first running an ADM template through the SysProSoft 'ADM Template Editor' tool (http://www.sysprosoft.com/products.shtml) and then running the resulting (and renamed) ADM file through the 'Full Armor' tool. From what I can tell, the changes are mostly focused on rearrangement of the Strings within the template though there could easily be others. That said, I have NOT attempted anything as complex as the Office 2003 templates. One of the issues (nits) I've had in the past with the Office templates was the lack of any "Explain" tab text. Looking from this at a higher level, that 'should' make them simpler to covert. On the other hand, you never know what might set off problems. Perhaps the ADMX formats 'really' want 'Explain' text.and if missing.could generate problems in the converter. Like I said, just some thoughts.

What kinds of errors are you getting?

I just have a quick question, has anybody successfully migrated the Office 2003 ADM files to ADMX? I've attempted this a few times using the FullArmour ADMX v1.2 tool unsuccessfully and have also posted the question on a few other forums without receiving any answers, so I thought I'd try my luck here. Would be great to know if anyone else has attempted this and if they've managed to successfully convert the files.
