This one is very interesting too: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;833783
It's the reason I tell people that always, always, always use GPMC to make a backup of their GPOs each time they edit them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of McLeod, Scotty Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 8:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] dcgpofix and default GPO http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=830062 has the hard coded GUID's listed for domain and dc default policies as well as some interesting info Scotty -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: 04 October 2005 15:38 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] dcgpofix and default GPO Although I've not tested the scenario you've described, you can't just rename the Default Domain Policy. It has a well-known GUID that will remain the same regardless, and I suspect that dcgpofix will overwrite based on the GUID rather than the friendly name. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 2:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] dcgpofix and default GPO I'm not sure what the answer is to your specific question but I would suggest you backup the default GPO using GPMC before using that fix. At least then, you can regress back to the older version if things start to break :) neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Freddy HARTONO Sent: 04 October 2005 10:38 To: '[email protected]' Subject: [ActiveDir] dcgpofix and default GPO Hi all, Seems like my Default Domain GPO has went through tons of changes (historical reason). If I were to rename Default Domain GPO to say for example Modified Domain GPO and run dcgpofix - will it overwrite my Renamed Modified Domain GPO or will it just recreate the Default Domain GPO? Appreciate your replies in advance. Thank you and have a splendid day!
