You work as an administrator at ABC.com. The ABC.com network consists of two Active Directory
forests, named ABC.com and test.com. There is no trust relationship configured between the
forests.
A backup of Group Policy object (GPO) from the test.com domain is stored on a domain controller
in the ABC.com domain. You are informed that a GPO must be created in the ABC.com domain,
and must be based on the settings of the GPO in the test.com domain.
You start by creating the new GPO using the New-GPO Windows PowerShell cmdlet. You want to
complete the task via a Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
Which of the following actions should you take?
A.
You should consider making use of the Invoke-GPUpdate Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
B.
You should consider making use of the Copy-GPO Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
C.
You should consider making use of the New-GPLink Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
D.
You should consider making use of the Import-GPO Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
Explanation:
why not b ?
@Gaahl Copy-GPO wold just work for copying GPOs in same forest. Between forests you have to export and import.
Aale is correct you have to export and import if you copy between forests
The question reads:
A backup of Group Policy object (GPO) from the test.com domain is stored on a domain controller
in the ABC.com domain
because a copy of the gpo already exists within abc.com domain, you would use the copy option.
Read the question carefully:
1 A backup of the gpo is available(i.e: not the gpo itself)
2 You start a new gpo.
3 You want to have the settings of the backup in the new gpo.
You have to choose import settings to be able to apply the settings of the backup to the new gpo.
Copy and pasting of a gpo only works when you already have a gpo and want to copy it. You can not copy settings from a backup or another gpo into a new gpo as is asked in the question.You can only copy a gpo retaining the settings of the original or start fresh one.
