In most cases just merging text will probably not work, unfortunately. Part of the problem is that each CSE stores its settings in different formats and in different places, which makes the problem much harder. If you can reduce the problem to one area-say Admin. Templates, then it is a bit easier.

I'll have to look at them again to see if running them through something like WinMerge would do the trick. -------- Roger Seielstad E-mail Geek -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2005 12:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Merging GPO's Roger- If you actually need to, say, merge Admin Template policies from two different GPOs, then I've not seen any tool to do this, unfortunately, though I do hear the need from time to time. If you want to take a GPO that contains Admin Template policy and merge it into another GPO that contains security policy, then that is do-able through some hacking around.

Anyway - does anyone have/know of a tool to merge multiple GPO's into a single policy? I inherited a conglomeration of about 40 GPO's which have conflicting settings and are generally just a miserable pain to work with, and rather than manually recreating them (since some are fairly involved) I'd love to be able to select 2 or more and do for GPO's what WinMerge does for text fles. -------- Roger Seielstad E-mail Geek List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
