To copy a Group Policy object:
In the GPMC console tree, right-click the GPO that you want to copy, and then click Copy.
To create a copy of the GPO in the same domain as the source GPO, right-click Group Policy objects,
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.
The Migration Table Editor (MTE) is provided with Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) to
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.

Source WS2008R2: Backup the existing GPOs from the GPMC, you need to ensure that the “Group
Policy Objects” container is selected for the “Backup Up All” option to be available.

  1. TaSpanja says:

    In this case since they are separate Forests the correct process is as follows:

    • Backup GPO
    • Copy GPO to other Forest
    • Create Migration table
    • Import GPO Using the Migration Table

    Therefore the correct answer would be D

    Answer=D It cannot be A because the first step=backup the GPO

    Export:
    In the source domain, right-click the GPO you want to migrate and choose Backup…
    Backup to a directory of your choice and Comment.
    You can continue backing up several GPOs to the same directory.

    Import:
    Copy the directory to the destination domain. Then you can either import the GPOs one-by-one or all of them with the same name as they had in the source:
    Import one-by-one:
    Create a new GPO.
    Right-click the GPO and choose Import Settings…
    Choose the backup folder you copied.
    Choose which GPO you want to import.
    Done.

      You want to copy GPO from dev.contoso.com to contoso.com. DC2 is on dev.contoso.com and is where the GPO is to copy. To copy a GPO from one forest to another, you have to do a backup.

      Answer is D.

  4. Butternutsquasherino says:

    A is the correct answer.

    The Backup-Gpo cmdlet allows you to create a backup of the GPO, in case you need to quickly restore it (i.e. – protection against accidental deletion). While this is certainly a good idea and a best practice, it does not accomplish the goal of copying the GPO.

    The question does not specify that there is a forest trust in place, so we have have to assume that no trust exists. Therefore exporting/importing the GPO is not an option. The only way to copy GPO1 from DC2 to DC1 is to copy and paste.

    I think it’s A. The question mentions two diferent forests to confuse us. The GPO is copied from dev.contoso.com to contoso.com. In this case, it’s not diferent forests and there’s a trust relationship between domains.

      You always see what you’d like to see, aren’t you? 🙂

    I sincerely thing there’s a typo in this question. As “evil” as we think these questions can be, I seriously doubt they would say two separate forests with relative domain name. So I’m thinking this should be saying something along the lines of “two separate domains in the same forest”.

    Anyone else think the same?
