Configuration

ADMX Source Folder

ADMX Viewer does not use a database or remote catalog. It reads files from the local admx/ directory at startup.

Requirements

• The repository root must contain an admx/ folder
• Each policy template must be an .admx file in that folder
• Localized resources must be placed in language subfolders such as en-us/ or ru-ru/
• Each language folder must contain a matching .adml file for the template

Example:

admx/
  MyTemplate.admx
  en-us/
    MyTemplate.adml
  fr-fr/
    MyTemplate.adml

Startup Reload Behavior

The app loads the ADMX catalog each time the server starts. If you add, remove, or replace files in admx/, restart the app to pick up the new catalog.

Language Selection

The language dropdown only shows languages that exist for the selected ADMX template.

If a requested language is missing, the app falls back to the template default language. For the bundled VS Code sample, that default is en-us.

Scope Handling

Policies can target:

• Machine
• User
• Both

The categories panel is split into Computer Configuration and User Configuration, and the export output respects the selected scope.

Browser-Side State

The following data is stored locally in the browser:

• Draft policy values
• The ingest name used for exports

The persisted state is local to your browser profile and is not written back into the ADMX or ADML files.
