creating an admin template for group policy

[rasczak]

i pulled this off of the tech net website to disable USB storage devices. However, I cannot seem to get this imported into GPMC as an .inf file. GPMC only recognizes .ADM files. Can someone point me to the right direction?

I had previously been able to apply the sslf template while it was a .inf file, but I just cant remember how i did it.

thanks!

the following error occurred in \\domain\sysvol\domain\policies\xsxsxsx\Adm\disableusb.adm on line 7 error 62. the corresponding string was not found in the [strings] secton

found !!labeltextusb

the file cannot be loaded.
