click Paste, specify permissions for the new GPO in the Copy GPO box, and then click OK.
For copy operations to another domain, you may need to specify a migration table.

facilitate the editing of migration tables. Migration tables are used for copying or importing Group
Policy objects (GPOs) from one domain to another, in cases where the GPOs include domain-specific
information that must be updated during copy or import.

    WHY NOT c?
    With the cmdlet Backup-GPO can in the domain dev.certbase.de a backup be created by GPO1. Subsequently, the policy settings in the certbase.de domain can import GPO be imported into a new GPO. The direct restore a backup of a GPO to another forest is not possible. Copying a GPO via the functions “Copy” and Paste “the Group Policy Management is also not over the border of a forest possible. The cmdlet save NetGPO saving changes to its cached local GPO and Mtedit.exe starts the migration table editor.

          no it doesn’t. I create dev.contoso.com on my network and you create contoso.com on yours and we don’t even notice each other. And I can backup a GPO and send it to you.
          Answer is D.

      “Your network contains two Active Directory forests”… not domains. Therefore, no trust is stated. I believe that the question specifically says forests, rather than domains, to hint that a trust is not established. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

    Confusion on this question is based on incorrect wording of the question. Both domains are referred to as forests when it appears based on the answer that we are dealing with a domain and a sub domain. A domain and sub domain would have a default 2 way trust. If it is in fact a domain and sub domain then the copy paste would work.
    Based on wording of the actual MS test questions, I would assume we are dealing with a domain and sub domain. There are typos on numerous questions on this site.
