asked on

Can I export a Group Policy Object from one forest and reimport it into another?

I read on Microsoft's site that I could backup a GPO from one forest and import it into a completely seperate one. Basically I'm working at a place that doesn't have there default domain policy and I wanted to import one from a default install of the same version of server 2003 running AD. I wanted to know if there would be any problems or any "gotcha's". I have Group policy managment installed and I could just 'Backup' a policy from one domain and then 'import' the GPO. Thanks in advance!

Migration-tables--Group Policy.pdf is Microsofts site.

Group-Policy-migration-tables.pdf is Microsofts Blog site.

I put those up in case they ever get deleted from Microsoft, wouldn't be the first time I found a solution to find the link is DEAD. So I printed the page.
