Looks like the ADMX Migrator tool (that didn't work all that well in its first iteration) has gotten some much needed fixes. If you remember, with the move to Vista and Server 2008 we get a transition from custom administrative template ADM files to the new XML-based ADMX format.

The problem was that until now there wasn't a decent and reliable tool to convert one to the other, or even really to create your own files. Microsoft had partnered with the company FullArmor to produce such a tool. Their first try at it didn't work all that well.

According to Jeremy Moskowitz, Prime Minister of All Things Group Policy (he just loves that nickname), "The ADMX migrator tool JUST got a makeover. I put it through the appropriate paces (I was the guy who filed most of the bugs when things didn't convert correctly..) And, well, they're all fixed, and it works the way it should have. So, check it out. ADMX Migrator tool 1.2."
