Manage alfaview policies via Windows Group Policy

alfaview Group Policy Templates (ADMX/ADML)

These files allow IT administrators to manage alfaview policies via Windows Group Policy.

Files

File	Purpose
alfaview.admx	Policy definitions (language-neutral)
en-US/alfaview.adml	English display strings
de-DE/alfaview.adml	German display strings

Installation

Copy the files to the Windows PolicyDefinitions directory:

copy alfaview.admx        C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\
copy en-US\alfaview.adml  C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\
copy de-DE\alfaview.adml  C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\de-DE\

This requires administrator privileges. After copying, the policies appear in the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) under:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > alfaview

Active Directory / Central Store

For domain-wide deployment, copy the files to your AD central store instead:

\\<domain>\SYSVOL\<domain>\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\alfaview.admx
\\<domain>\SYSVOL\<domain>\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\alfaview.adml
\\<domain>\SYSVOL\<domain>\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\de-DE\alfaview.adml

Intune

Upload alfaview.admx and the ADML files via:

Devices > Configuration > Import ADMX

Then create a configuration profile using the imported templates.
