Vista Tutorial - ADML Files location for Australian Installation

Hi All,

We have a single Vista installation in our test environment (2003 Based AD).
I'm now looking at investigating/extending group policies in Vista. From
what I've read, there should be a directory under
C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions with the locale name. Our installation has a
directory name of en-US whereas I was expecting en-AU given all the language
settings are set to Australian ones.

Has our installation been incorrectly built, or should Australian
installations have en-US as the directory name for the ADML files?

Thanks,
Mark

My installation is set to Australian and shows the same en-US directory. It
appears to be normal.

All english versions are identical.

Thanks Jane.

I guess if I make a en-US folder on a DC and let it replicate then all
should be fine (allowing for spelling 'errors' of course) when it comes to
setting up our domain based policies ;-)

Cheers,
Mark
