That does work, but it doesn't transfer redirected folder settings.
Also, you can get into some trouble with replication between domain
controllers, i.e. they don't replicate. The GPT.INI file contains a
version number that must match the GPO's version which is stored in AD.
To make sure they replicate when you do it this way, be sure to
immediately make a change to one of the settings in the GPO under
Administrative Templates. Since the GPMC came out, that's the way to go
now.

        GPOs can be moved in Windows 2000, but not very easily.
         
        Basically it involves setting up a blank GPO and identifing the
GUID for the object.  For the GPO you want to copy from,  idendify the
object's GUID.  Then on the domain controller,  locate the
SYSVOL\{domain name}\policies\{copy from GUID}\ directory.  Copy it's
contents (dirs and all) to the SYSVOL\{domain name}\policies\{copy to
GUID}\ directory.
         
        Go edit the GPO, verify your settings and apply the policy as
needed.

                Windows 2003 allows you to export and import the GPO's.

                If a group policy was built in a test environment... How
would I move
                this into production.??
                
                Is it a case of just copying a .gpo file over and
assigning it to
                Sites/domains/OU's??
                
                thanks in advance..
