Re: Copy GPO's?

Hello RandyH,

Thats new in GPMC, you can link one policy to different OU's without interfering the other OU's. Be aware that if you change the policy it will effect all OU's where it is linked to.

I need to create a test container that is exactly as a two production
containers.

I was right clicking on the GPO in GPMC, choosing copy, and then
selecting my test OU and choose paste, but I am not sure about the
prompt I am getting, "Do you want to link the GPOs that you have
selected to this OU", OK/Cancel.

If I link it, it won't break the production stuff will it?
