fix
Group Policy Administrator (GPA) has three main components: Console, Repository, and Server. You only need to back up the repository. If you need to restore the other components, just install them. They do not contain any configuration or environment-specific configuration settings.
To backup the repository:
- Open SQL Enterprise Manager on the computer where the repository resides.
- Expand Databases.
- Select GPO_Repository.
- From the Action menu, click All Tasks > Backup Database...
- Back up the GPO_Repository to a file.
To restore the repository:
- Open SQL Enterprise Manager on the computer where the repository resides.
- Expand Databases.
- Select GPO_Repository.
- From the Action menu, click All Tasks > Restore Database...
- Restore the file to the GPO_Repository.
