NetIQ Group Policy Administrator 3.0

fix

When you do a Copy/Paste operation in the Administrator node, the custom ADM templates do not get copied to the target GPO.  This can be done using either of the following methods:

In the Administrator node use the Backup/Import functionality.

  1. In the Administrator node create a template GPO and apply all the desired ADM templates.
  2. Under the Administrator node highlight the Domain node. 
  3. Click the Backup link in the right hand pane.
  4. Make a Backup Copy of the template GPO making sure to select all settings for the GPO Backup Options.
  5. After creating the new GPO, right-click,and select Import.
  6. Select the template GPO backup directory from Step 4 and import the settings. 

In the Repository use the copy/paste functionality. 

  1. Create a template GPO and add the additional desired ADM templates.
  2. After creating a new GPO, select the template GPO in the Repository, right-click and select Copy.
  3. Select the target GPO in the Repository, right-click and select Paste.


note
A ticket is opened to development to add the ability to Copy/Paste ADM templates in the Administrator node which is being considered in a future release
