Nope... He wants the actual ADM file that the policy is in.
In the Group Policy Editor, right click on "Administrative Templates"
and select "Add/Remove templates" to see which templates are loaded.
Then, navigate to your %windir%\inf folder, and look for the adm files
there. Attach the office one, or post the text.

If you're using GPMC then if you right click on the policy you should
have save report as an option. You can save as an xml or HTML, is that
what Jim means? JIM??

So I figured, only, I don't know what an "admin text file" is.
Terminology problem I think I have here. 8-]
Yes, it's the standard Office 2003 adm-template I'm using. Nothing
custom made, just the out-of-the-box adm-template and then setup with
various things within.
