| Yeah, so I've been gone a while - too long, but I'll try to fix that.
Anyway - does anyone have/know of a tool to merge multiple GPO's into a
single policy?
I inherited a conglomeration of about 40 GPO's which have conflicting
settings and are generally just a miserable pain to work with, and rather
than manually recreating them (since some are fairly involved) I'd love to
be able to select 2 or more and do for GPO's what WinMerge does for text
fles.

| Roger-
If you actually need to, say, merge Admin Template policies from two
different GPOs, then I've not seen any tool to do this, unfortunately,
though I do hear the need from time to time. If you want to take a GPO
that contains Admin Template policy and merge it into another GPO that
contains security policy, then that is do-able through some hacking
around.

| I had been looking at the backup files created by GPMC, which look like they
could be munged together, but that's a bit more manual than I'd like. I'll
have to look at them again to see if running them through something like
WinMerge would do the trick.

| In most cases just merging text will probably not work, unfortunately.
Part of the problem is that each CSE stores its settings in different
formats and in different places, which makes the problem much harder. If
you can reduce the problem to one area-say Admin. Templates, then it is
a bit easier.
