If the GPOs are already in the destination domain but just are linked to be
active, then the best way to do this is to use a GPMC script. Are you familiar
with GPMC scripting? If so, you can use the IGPMSOM.CreateGPOLink to automate
this for a number of OUs. You can't do this simply by renaming GPOs because the
link to the OU is keyed off the GPO's GUID, not its Friendly Name. So you have
to first remove the link to the old GPO (using GPMC's IGPMGPOLink.Delete
method) and then add the new one.
