At sepago we needed to create documentation of the settings that can be influenced with the ADM template file used for Citrix’s User Profile Manager (UPM). Because of the structure of ADM template files, to do so by hand would require a lot of copying and pasting which gets tedious very fast. Also once an ADM template file reaches a certain size it becomes impossible to extract all the data by hand in a reasonable amount of time.
