Actually Mark, MS-GPMC supports backup and import between domains in different forests. However, you typically need to create a migration table to handle mapping of security principals and UNCs. I wrote a chapter that covered this a while back at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/D epKit/c283b699-6124-4c3a-87ef-865443d7ea4b.mspx

Not meant to be pedantic - but is this the procedure that has been completed ? Mark -----Original Message----- From: Tom Kern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2005 14:39:27 To:activedirectory <[email protected]> Subject: [ActiveDir] gpmc I had an admin(consultant) copy gpo's from one Forest to another using Quest. However, when i open up the GPMC and focus on the policy, it has no settings defined. Under details, it has 1 change for the user config under sysvol but 0 under AD. Does this mean something went wrong with the copy? The AD part is not in sync with the Sysvol part it seems. Also, when i run GPOTOOL, it just lists the default domain and domain controllers policies. The one's coppied over do not come up. The only thing they have in common is that the Sysvol portition is updated but the AD portion is at 0. Does Quest only copy the sysvol files and not the GPC in AD? Or did they just screw up? Thanks a lot!!
