 description: Use Administrative templates in Microsoft Intune and Endpoint Manager to create groups of settings for Windows 10/11 client devices. Use these settings in a device configuration profile to control Office programs, Microsoft Edge, secure Internet Explorer, access OneDrive, use remote desktop, enable Auto-Play, set power management settings, use HTTP printing, control user sign-in, and change the event log size.

 # Use Windows 10/11 templates to configure group policy settings in Microsoft Intune
 
-When managing devices in your organization, you want to create groups of settings that apply to different device groups. For example, you have several device groups. For GroupA, you want to assign a specific set of settings. For GroupB, you want to assign a different set of settings. You also want a simple view of the settings you can configure.
-
-You can complete this task using **Administrative Templates** in Microsoft Intune. The administrative templates include thousands of settings that control features in Microsoft Edge version 77 and later, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Microsoft Office programs, remote desktop, OneDrive, passwords, PINs, and more. These settings allow group administrators to manage group policies using the cloud.
+**Administrative Templates** in Microsoft Intune include thousands of settings that control features in Microsoft Edge version 77 and later, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Microsoft Office programs, remote desktop, OneDrive, passwords, PINs, and more. These settings allow administrators to create group policies using the cloud.
 
 This feature applies to:
 
 - Windows 11
 - Windows 10
 
-The Windows settings are similar to group policy (GPO) settings in Active Directory (AD). These settings are built in to Windows, and are [ADMX-backed settings](/windows/client-management/mdm/understanding-admx-backed-policies) that use XML. The Office and Microsoft Edge settings are ADMX-ingested, and use the ADMX settings in [Office administrative template files](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=49030) and [Microsoft Edge administrative template files](https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/enterprise). And, the Intune templates are 100% cloud-based. They offer a simple and straight-forward way to configure the settings, and find the settings you want.

 This article lists the steps to create a template for Windows client devices, and shows how to filter all the available settings in Intune. When you create the template, it creates a device configuration profile. You can then assign or deploy this profile to Windows client devices in your organization.
 
 ## Before you begin
 
 - Some of these settings are available starting with Windows 10 version 1709 (RS2/build 15063). Some settings aren't included in all the Windows editions. For the best experience, it's suggested to use Windows 10 Enterprise version 1903 (19H1/build 18362) and newer.
 
-- The Windows settings use [Windows policy CSPs](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider#policies-supported-by-group-policy-and-admx-backed-policies). The CSPs work on different editions of Windows, such as Home, Professional, Enterprise, and so on. To see if a CSP works on a specific edition, go to [Windows policy CSPs](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider#policies-supported-by-group-policy-and-admx-backed-policies).

     If the profile is assigned to user groups, then configured ADMX settings apply to any device that the user enrolls, and signs in to. If the profile is assigned to device groups, then configured ADMX settings apply to any user that signs into that device. This assignment happens if the ADMX setting is a computer configuration (`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE`), or a user configuration (`HKEY_CURRENT_USER`). With some settings, a computer setting assigned to a user may also impact the experience of other users on that device.
