Jeff, thanks to you and all for your responses....much appreciated..
 
When you say that the version numbers much match in GPT.INI and the version
held in AD, was what you said about 'making a change to one of the settings
in the GPO Admin Templates', intended to change the version ID in AD.
 
If you have time, could you expand on this slightly?
 
Many thanks once again...
 
Brianos :o)

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..
