Can new ADMX Policy Template be imported to Simple AD or Managed AD?

Question

Does Simple AD or Managed Microsoft AD support importing custom admx/adml templates?  
  
A 3rd-party app in my environment includes a custom_app.admx/.adml files so app settings can be managed via Windows GPO. I wish to manage this app's settings using GPO linked to my AD Domain which means the admx should be imported to the DC.  
Traditionally when I had full control of my Domain Controllers, I could import the admx to my DC.

Yes you can add templates to GPOs you have created.  There are a couple GPOs we control in Manged Microsoft AD that will not allow this.  So first you will have to create a new GPO and link it to your OU.  Please update this post if you run into any problems.

I think what Iaac means:  
  
Normally its possible to import admx templates on the domain controller in folder:  
C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions  
  
I for instance have the same issue related to this article from Microsoft:  
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/secguide/the-mss-settings  
  
I will probably today open a case to check what is possible
