  1. Jitesh,

    Thanks a lot for this doc. Actually I am not able to upload the ADMX file because for some reason windows.admx file is stuck at “Removal Failed” in my Endpoint Manager. Would you have any advice to remove this windows.admx file ?

  2. How long is the delay between upload and actually seeing the settings available? I uploaded successfully but the settings aren’t populating in the admin template as an option. Frustrating…
