| This is probably a silly question - but I can't seem to figure out how to
backup my GPO such as the Default Domain Policy. Internet sources say that
I should be able to right-click on the GPO and click back up. I don't have
this option through the RSAT tools on Vista using Group Policy Management,
or using the GPMC on our DC.
I'm sure this is just something I'm missing, and would appreciate the help.
Thanks!

| Hi Derek,
I suspect you are right clicking on the GPO link/shortcut in the
associated OU rather than the GPO object itself in the "Group Policy
Objects" container/OU.
In your domain tree in Group Policy Management make sure you are right
clicking on the GPOs in the "Group Policy Objects" container/OU, not the
domain OU which you've linked the GPO to.
Hope this helps
Andrew

| Just to close the loop on this - when I backup the GPO as described below,
does that also backup necessary information in my GPP? I suppose that
depends on where I run the backup from, since my Vista workstation does all
the edits and has the GPP setup. Whereas our PDC does not have the
necessary software to configure GPP.
Just want to make sure I get that backed up as well.

| Derek-
I haven't tried it explicitly, but based on other behaviors related to this,
the backup likely needs to run from either a Vista, SP1 or Server 2008
machine with GPMC installed, since downlevel versions would not know to
backup the extra data associated with the GPP settings.

| This seems to have worked after I finally had a chance to test. I have been
doing my backups, but installed the RSAT and GPP CSE on another Vista
machine, opened up GPMC and the Preferences that I had set were there.
Just wanted to let others know - and now I can sleep at night J
