Simple definition
Intune administrative templates expose ADMX settings through the settings catalog; the former Administrative Templates profile is deprecated.
Purpose and use
Administrative templates expose ADMX-defined settings for Windows and selected applications.
How does it work?
In Intune, ADMX settings can be configured through the settings catalog; the former Administrative Templates profile type is deprecated and read-only.
Example and verification
When following an older procedure, identify existing profiles and locate matching settings in the current catalog.
Points to watch
Copying an old procedure can lead to a profile type no longer intended for creation. Also avoid deploying conflicting values through multiple channels.
In short
ADMX format and the former Administrative Templates interface are distinct concepts; use the currently supported configuration path.
