Windows-itpro-docs: "Policy CSPs supported by Group Policy" vs "ADMX-backed policy CSPs"

[icelava]

What's the fine line differentiating these categories? Isn't ADMX-backed policies simply Policy CSPs that expose the underlying GP ATs?

Good question, we may need to hear from the document author about this. I thought it was about the 2 separate file types used to manage the GPOs, but I could be mistaken.

I think CSP policies are configured in Windows 10 Mobile smartphones, ADMX with ADML based policies are configured in Windows 10 desktop editions

Fair enough, well replied. I guess that is why it is called Mobile Device Management (MDM).

@RAJU2529 If that is the case then all these details should be spelt out clearly and not leaving the reader to guess.

[RAJU2529]

@icelava . So in this case, let authors will decide what to do.

@e0i : Could you check with the author(s) if we may have a reply regarding this question and what a reasonable explanation would look like, something to add in the documentation?

[e0i]

@illfated The issue is in the backlog and a contributor is going to pick it soon. Thank you for pinging me on this. Much appreciated.

Hello @icelava,
"Policy CSPs supported by Group Policy" - CSPs that have Group Policy analogues
"ADMX-backed policy CSPs" - Those "Policy CSPs supported by Group Policy" that requires special SyncML format to be enabled or disabled.
Thank you
