fix

ZENworks for Desktops 3.2 Extensible Policies only provide support for ADM files written up to the 1.0 Specification.  ZENworks for Desktops 3.2 Group Policies only provide support for ADM files written up to the 1.1 specification.  The Microsoft Windows XP c:\windows\inf\system.adm file written to the 1.1 specification and can only be used by Group Policies.  Standard Microsoft Group Policy adm files cannot be added to ZENworks Extensible Policies.  See the help file in Microsoft Windows XP under System Policy Editor indicating that the System Policy Editor (poledit.exe) has been replaced by Group Policy.
