This post is regarding how to Export a GPO to a File in AGPM Console.
You can export a controlled Group Policy object (GPO) to a CAB file so that you can copy it to a domain in another forest and import the GPO into Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) in that domain. For information about how to import GPO settings into a new or existing GPO, A user account with the Editor or AGPM Administrator (Full Control) role or necessary permissions in Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) is required to complete this procedure.
To export a GPO to a file
- In the Group Policy Management Console tree, click Change Control in the forest and domain in which you want to manage GPOs.
- On the Contents tab, click the Controlled tab to display the controlled GPOs.
- Right-click the GPO, and then click Export to.
- Enter a file name for the file to which you want to export the GPO.
- and then click Export. If the file does not exist, it is created. If it already exists, it is replaced.
