🪄 ADMX Wizard 🪄

This tool can be used to create a custom ADMX and ADML file which creates or modifies keys in the Windows Registry.

How to?

Important for Intune Imported ADMX: Registry keys under System, Software\Microsoft, and Software\Policies\Microsoft are restricted (except a small Microsoft-defined allowlist). The generator automatically skips incompatible entries and prints a warning summary in the console.

If you want to use this tool you need to:

1. Add Registry Keys into add-keys.csv:

path,type,name,value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NIKLASRAST,STRING,Test String,SomeValue
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\NIKLASRAST,DWORD,Test DWORD,1

The csv file has fields for path,type,name and value. Fill them like this example:

STRING Key:

• path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NIKLASRAST
• type: STRING
• name: Test String
• value: SomeValue

DWORD Key:

• path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NIKLASRAST
• type: DWORD
• name: Test DWORD
• value: 1

BINARY Key:

• path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NIKLASRAST
• type: BINARY
• name: Test BINARY
• value: 0100000000200000020000000F024E0000000000

You can add as many keys as you need - one per line.

2. Run the New-ADMXADML.ps1 script:

.\New-ADMXADML.ps1 -Name "SetTheFileName" -CSVPath "Path/To/add-keys.csv"

This will do the following:

• Check if the add-keys.csv exists in the same directory as the script. If not it will create a template csv file which you can use to add registry keys.
• Create GUIDs which are internally used for the admx template.
• Ask you for the name of the admx/adml files.
• Add all registry keys that are defined inside of add-keys.csv into the created admx/adml files. Each key will also be logged on the console. If all messages are green then everything is OK. If you see a red line there was an issue.

3. Deploy the admx/adml file Once the files have been created you simply need to upload them to Intune as a Imported ADMX. Afterwards you can use them in a new configuration profile from the Imported Administrative templates (Preview) type.
