Hi all,
We're updating the .admx and .adml files within our PolicyDefinitions folder in SYSVOL for Windows Server 2012R2 and Windows 10. What we've noticed is that whilst new .admx / .adml files replicate around our DC's (we have 4 in total on the same site but in different vLANs) pretty quickly, existing .admx / .adml files don't replicate around the change in the date modified value, suggesting that they haven't replicated.
For example on the DC where we have copied the .admx files to, the AddRemovePrograms.admx file has been updated to 25/11/2013 07:25 but the remaining DC's all have a time stamp of 10/06/2009 22:34. Replicating new files seems OK, so is there a setting for updating modified files at all? Also, short of copying the updated files into the PolicyDefintions folder of each DC individually is there another way of bringing all the files (including the date modified timestamps) into line and ultimately, does this even matter (ie, is there any difference in say the AddRemovePrograms.admx file from 2009 to 2013?).
Many thanks
