Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the suggestion, but same issue as with the Schannel repo; there's no versioning on this .cab file, or it's referencing web page.
I cannot check for new versions.

Cheers,

Arjan

Even with no version information, we could still add the policy definitions files, I doubt the URL is gonna change. As long as we get the ADMX files.

The point being that if I can't see that the admx files in that Url are newer than the files present on the machine where the script is run, how do I decide to download it?
If there's no versioning one can assume it doesn't change, so it should be downloaded manually.

I understand your point but I still think getting the latest update of the admx everytime the script is run is still better than not getting it at all. Afterall, this admx can turn RDP short path on. It's kind of a big deal.

More settings added to the ADMX

We could use the article update date as a reference for versioning?

Afterall, It's not that different from what's being done to track Adobe ADMX updates.

Please reconsider. Thanks.

How about this:

• download should be at https://aka.ms/avdgpo
• check the redirected Url for the download Url, which points to https://query.prod.cms.rt.microsoft.com/cms/api/am/binary/RWG1Ww
• invoke a webrequest to the redirected download location without redirection, and checking the headers

Which is the last modified date for the .CAB file?
