A GPO, in the Repository, can be updated by re-importing the GPO into the Repository from Active Directory. Re-importing the GPO will bring in the new settings of the GPO from Active Directory and will create a new version of the GPO in the repository. To update a GPO in the repository, please perform the following steps:
- Right-click the Category where the GPO is located and select Import GPO from AD.
- Browse to the GPO that you wish to update in the "Browse for Group Policy Object" dialog box, and select OK.
- If the GPO already exists in the Repository, a message box will appear stating "GPO already there in repository. Do you want to create a new version?", click Yes.
