Deleted Default Domain Policy

[dissolved]

Hi, I was practicing GPOs in a test environment. I deleted the DEFAULT DOMAIN POLICY.

Was this a bad thing to do? I understand that exchange 2000 needs the DEFAULT DOMAIN POLICY present in order to fully function. Is this correct?
Thank you

ps:
Anyway to recover DEFAULT DOMAIN POLICY?

You will definately want to recreate the Default Policy.

Here is how to do it.

Thanks. The article you linked me to, looks like it only resets the default domain policy. My problem is I deleted it. Is the article still applicable? I am not too familiar with doing stuff like this....
Thanks

Yes, I believe it should still apply.

You could also check out GPOTOOL.
