I am still confused as to which of these I should be using?
For taking a GPO from Forest A and putting it on Forest B which would I use if
Scenario A I have a trust between the two
Scenario B I have no trust
What about Domains in the same forest
-
Backup-GPOcmd vs Copy GPO 70-411

Hello Ralph,
Easy to get confused, so many options ;)
If there is a trust between the forests, you would use the copy option. The copy option uses an existing GPO in Active Directory, therefore requires a trust, whether between domains in the same forest, or separate forests.
If there is not a trust between forests, you would use the import option. The import option uses a backup of a GPO stored in the file system, therefore doesn't require a trust (could be on a thumb drive, no Active Directory access).
Hope this helps, thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Mike
