fix

The Offline Mirror functionality of NetIQ Group Policy Administrator (GPA) 4.5 is intended for the initial setup of the categories and GPOs to mimic the Active Directory structure.  It is not intended as a tool to synchronize the GPO between the Repository and Active Directory.  An enhancement request has been submitted to include the synchronize functionality for consideration in a future release of the product. 

This issue is resolved in GPA 5.0, Please update for this functionality.



note

The Offline Mirror functionality is detailed in Chapter 4 of the product User Guide under the section 'Importing All GPOs (Offline Mirror)'.
