Hi,

I have a number of group policies which I need to effectively re-create but
alter slightly. For example, my policy for Home Folders needs to point to a
different server depending on the OU it's applied to. Rather than re-create
the GPO from scratch just to change one item, is it possible to copy or
clone an existing GPO so I can then edit just the one setting I need to?

Thanks,

Curtis.

use the GPMC from Microsoft. You can backup and restore GPOs, as well as
import settings from another GPO (which is what you want to do) to duplicate
them.
