Recording Management Agent Templates in Microsoft Metadirectory Services

Microsoft Metadirectory Services (MMS) includes a tool to record Management Agent (MA) templates in the working folder. It is important to record templates in the working folder after you make any changes. This creates a copy of the templates in the folder so that you have a copy of your customized templates if for some reason the directory is unrecoverable.
