(19) Import Custom Administrative Templates into MEM

Microsoft recently released a new feature which allows import of custom ADMX templates into MEM: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/configuration/administrative-templates-import-custom

Today I decided to import Mozilla Firefox (ADMX) templates into MEM. Previously you had to create a custom profile along with OMA-URI settings to apply the ADMX template then deploy that to your devices followed by another custom profile with OMA-URI settings to deploy the actual configs for Mozilla Firefox.

Download Mozilla Firefox ADMX Templates

1. Navigate to https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/releases

2. Download on policy_templates_v4.1.zip (as of 23rd August 2022)

3. Unzip the .zip file which will expand like so:

Import ADMX and ADML files into MEM

1. Navigate to https://endpoint.microsoft.com/

2. Select Devices then Configuration Profiles then select Import ADMX

3. There is a dependency that needs to be followed, where:

(a) mozilla.admx and mozilla.adml needs to be uploaded first, then created. Once done.

It will then upload to MEM. Select Refresh.

Once completed, it will be completed.

(b) firefox.admx and firefox.adml can be uploaded, then created.

Next it will upload to MEM. Select Refresh to see the changes.

4. Now importing ADMX has been completed.

Create Configuration Profile

1. Next navigate to https://endpoint.microsoft.com/ > Create profile

Platform: Windows 10 and later

Profile Type: Templates

Template: Imported Administrative Templates (preview)

2. Name the profile then select Next.

3. Once done, the profile can be assigned to a group.
