Tool to combine multiple GPOs?

[bbarz]

Is there a tool that makes it easy to combine multiple GPOs into a single GPO? It would be great if the tool also checked the settings in the originals and reported any conflicts between them.

There is a mention in that article about using Restore to merge gpo's together. Never tried it myself though.



Thanks,

Thanks for the reply and the link. You are correct in that the author suggests that the import feature in gpmc will do exactly what I am looking for. However, when I first discovered this feature, I tried to do just that. Unless I am completely missing something, you can only select 1 source GPO to import and the import blows away all settings in the target GPO.

Hmm, I've never actually tried this myself. I wish it went into more detail...



Thanks,
