can I copy a GPO from 1 OU to another?

[Mike]

I posted this in another newsgroup and I think it more
appropriately goes here. I have a rather involved GPO,
and just want to copy it to another OU, then use it
there. Can this be done? I don't see a copy option
anywhere.

THanks

Mike,

I think that you could *link* it to that additional OU.

HTH,

If the new OU is in the same domain then you don't need to copy it, you can
just link the OU to that Group Policy so that both OU's get the same policy.
If you want to move it to an OU in a different domain you can use the Group
Policy Management Console to copy it over.

Great - thanks - I see the Linking function now.

You can link to the other OU or copy with GPMC
