Cannot use admx files with win 2008 R2 GPMC

[emaybee]

When I try to import the admx file, I get a "Encountered an error while parsing. DTD is prohibited. File: C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\Mozilla.admx, line 4, column 9". Any ideas as to what's wrong?

Thanks.

[n8felton]

Did you place the "Mozilla.adml" file in the "C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US" folder?

[emaybee]

Thanks for answering so quickly.

Yes I did. After some re-copying, wrangling and oddly renaming them to "firefox" instead of "mozilla", they now appear but now I have to ask about the vbs startup file working because I activated a couple of settings and after multiple restarts and gpupdates nothing changes in firefox. Is it reasonable to expect that this will work with Firefox 12-13?

Once again.... thanks.

Could I please re-open this? I have done the following: copied the .adml to \server\sysvol\do.ma.in\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US AND c:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US copied the .admx to \server\sysvol\do.ma.in\Policies\PolicyDefinitions AND c:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions Tried to rename (as emaybee stated) to Firefox.adml and Firefox.admx.

The error "DTD is prohibited" is still occurring.

Thanks

Hi Prof X,

I never got that adm/admx stuff to work but depending on what you want to do, you might want to check out this page...

Good luck.

I will try to take a look into this, but I have not yet experienced this issue.

[alanx1]

I experienced the same issue, but figured out it was because I had saved the file to my local drive as html rather than the source xml. Once I saved the file in the proper format, the error went away, and all was good. :)

Good luck! Alan

Wow, I can't believe it's been over a year already...

Is anyone still having issues with this? If not, I'm going to close this issue again in a few days until someone opens it again.

[profxavier]

Well, I have left the position I was in during this query. So it is up to you to take it or leave it :D

[n8felton]

Closing issue as I can not reproduce. If someone has this issue again, please re-open.

Hi, I am getting the similar error, too, German de-DE files. Using Windows Server 2008 R2. Copied files as described and double-checked alanx1's post.

[n8felton]

If you are still experiencing this issue, please use https://gist.github.com/ and link me the exact contents of your Mozilla.admx and Mozilla.adml files.

Hello guys

i had the same issue and i understand why now

on the github page, when you see the admx and anml files, i right clicked on them - save as the file obtained is just githubs gibberish. its NOT an AMDL/ADMX file !

my solution was to left click on each file on github. the code appear. i select all the code and paste it in notepad or notepad++ and save it with the good filename

i had to do this for each file since i didnt see how to downoal the most curent version as a .zip or something

edit : well the files manually saved didnt work eitheir. i used the zip file provided on the former comment. but it`s pretty old

[LudwigWagner]

Hello,

i have the same issue today. now i found and used the files in the zip file (from 2018) on the former comment and these files work fine.
thanks for the zip!
