Thanks again Joe and Darren   I did a R&D of how the GPO’s are getting stored. I will share info with you.   First I took the backup of a GPO then observed that GptTmpl.inf stores few information other than Administrative Template settings. Then reset the information in the GptTmpl.inf

This is telling you that your 192.168 subnet does not have a reverse zone. The 192.168/16 block belongs to IANA (it's essentially "reserved", along with other blocks). If your DNS server tries to reverse resolve anything in that range, and you don't have an authoritative zone, then it goes out a

In terms of out-of-the-box solutions, there really aren't any.

the preferred way to do this is with ADMT (the free migration tool from MS). alternatively, you can use the movetree command. realize, you may have to change group-scopes to limit the impact during the move => usually best to convert any group to universal, prior to moving it to a differnt domain.
