Re: Best Method for Exporting Group Policy?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks for pointing out export/import. I was/am out of touch with
a domain env at moment and could only think of the backup/restore,
when in fact it is as you point out the export/import that allow migrate
table usage.

Hi,

I would like to set up a test server, create some small group policy

policy object in Active Directory. What is the best path to get from A

Z here?

GPMC, export and import. If SID or pathes included from "foreign"
GPO, then you can work with the MTE (Migration Tabel Editor, included
in GPMC)

Take a look inside the GPMC\Scripts Folder you can export and import your
whole environment with this scripts, not only GPOs if you like.

How do I set the GPO settings to a blank slate (all settings neither
enabled
nor disabled)?

Use a new one ...

In Windows 2000 how do you do an export Policy?

2000AD? With an XP Client and the GPMC
