Thanks Petelong and Tigermatt.<br />
I'll award the points to tigermatt as he has pointed out the disadvantages of your solution and they seem quite extensive to me anyway. Appreciate the suggestion as a possibility.<br />
Thanks for a great response tigermatt<br />

Hi, <br />
<br />
My network is nicely setup and Group Policies are used extensively like everyone else no doubt. IS there a way to migrate Group Policies to a new server on a new network (to 2008 nserver maybe) or some way of easily doucumenting all the settings?<br />
<br />
Many thanks

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft.
