Forgive me as sometimes Microsoft documentation is a bit opaque. I've been looking at the reference doc and from what I gather I should be copying the lithnet.admx and lithnet.idlelogoff.admx files from c:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions to \sysvol\domain.local\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\en-us folders, which is the existing Central Store.

After doing so I'm not seeing a change under Administrative Templates when attempting to create a new GPO. I feel like I'm missing something obvious?

Sorry for the lack of clarity, I'll get our pages updated with a bit more detail.

There are two file types you need to copy. The two ADMX files, and the two ADML files from the en-us directory.

You have the right central policy store location, but it looks like you may have placed the ADMX files in the en-us folder based on the path provided in the post.

Place the ADMXs into the PolicyDefinitions folder, and the ADMLs into the en-us sub folder.
