RunOfflineMirror script creates multiple copies of GPOs in the All category. (NETIQKB48588)

fact
NetIQ Group Policy Administrator 4.6

fact
NetIQ Group Policy Administrator 5.0

symptom
RunOfflineMirror script creates multiple copies of GPOs in the All category.

symptom
The 'All' category contains numerous copies of the same Group Policy Object.

symptom
Cannot eliminate duplicate GPO entries.

cause
The All category lists GPOs for every instance they are linked to an Organizational Unit (OU). When you run the RunOfflineMirror.bat script, GPOs will be listed each time a GPO link is detected. If a single GPO is linked to multiple OUs in Active Directory, the All category will list it multiple times.

fix
This is resolved in NetIQ Group Policy Administrator 5.0. To resolve this issue upgrade to the latest version of NetIQ Group Policy Administrator.
