Ah, right--no you can't do that either :). The export of that report is just HTML or XML and doesn't import back into a GPO. What you're after is effectively what I described, which is that you want to merge multiple GPOs' settings into a single one, for which there is no solution short of coding it yourself (and its not trivial). -----Original Message----- From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of victor-w@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2007 11:57 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: Merging actual applied settings of different policies into one policy. After reading my initial post again I am now thinking I could have described it better. What I actually mean is; After running Group Policy Modeling, it gives me a report with all the applied settings in it. Can I export these settings and import them into another GPO?
