> As there's [no access to domain controllers in Azure AD DS](faqs.md#can-i-connect-to-the-domain-controller-for-my-managed-domain-using-remote-desktop), you can't create and use a Central Store for group policy administrative templates in a managed domain. [Sysvol isn't included in on-premises Azure AD Connect synchronization](synchronization.md#what-isnt-synchronized-to-azure-ad-ds), so you also can't create an on-premises Central Store and synchronize it to Azure AD DS through Azure AD.

> You can use Group Policy Administrative Templates by copying the new templates to the management workstation. Copy the *.admx* files into `%SYSTEMROOT%\PolicyDefinitions` and copy the locale-specific *.adml* files to `%SYSTEMROOT%\PolicyDefinitions\[Language-CountryRegion]`, where `Language-CountryRegion` matches the language and region of the *.adml* files.
