I am attempting to write an administrative template to load into the
group policy editor so I can easily distribute the site license
registration information for PowerArchiver across our domain. When I
add the ADM file in the policy editor, I see the category "Power
Archiver" but there are no settings to the right.

I used guidance from KB#225087
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=225087). However, the
Microsoft "How To Test" category shows up, but again there are no
settings to the right.

I have tried these templates in Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows 2003
Standard group policy editor on a native Win2003 domain. Any ideas?
Thanks.

PS: Pasted below is the ADM file I wrote. I have tried using it with
and without string variables.

Thanks for your help.

Matt

Right click administrative templates -> View -> Filtring -> clear "Only
show policy settings that can be fully managed" checkbox
 
Thanks, I feel silly now.
