Hi,
I've found that I've been unable to import on AD GPM console certain policies exported from SCM.
Scenario is as follows:
* Correctly imported GPO on SCM from GPO backup
* Modifications are made on this imported GPO on SCM and later exported to a new GPO backup
When I try to import that backup on a newly created policy on AD GPM, the process stops giving the following error "Data is Invalid".
Looking a bit deeper on Event Viewer I've found that this is caused because the domain of the imported policy does not match.
------------------------------------------
Import of backup failed. Error [The data is invalid.].
Details -
Backup
Directory: The data is invalid.
Instance : C:\Policy\xxxxxx
Comment : {c35daadf-8944-401b-bcfe-xxxxxxxxx}
Source GPO:
DisplayName: Modified_GPO
ID: Common Baseline
Domain: {96BB1CBE-E589-4397-B3B8-XXXXXXXXXXX}
Destination GPO:
DisplayName: contoso.com
ID: New_Policy_Import
Domain: {8F01D014-F3F0-4267-9186-BC3E259902BA}
Having a look on the backup.xml file I see some more contoso.com entries: </NetBIOSDomainName><DnsDomainName><![CDATA[contoso.com]]></DnsDomainName><UPN><![CDATA[Enterprise Admins@contoso.com]]
Why is the destination GPO stamped with domain "contoso.com" instead of it's original domain name?
Is there any way to force the source GPO Domain name?
Thanks.
