Appendix A: Group Policy Tools

Overview

Obviously, the power of Group Policy is awesome , but some aspects of Group Policy and Intelli-Mirror management are better suited to additional tools. In this appendix, we're going to leverage a variety of tools to perform several key duties . We'll also finish the functionality of what the GPMC has to offer, specifically , migrating existing GPOs between domains. We'll then dive into the other free Group Policy and IntelliMirror management tools from Microsoft.

Last, we'll round up third-party Group Policy tools, third-party Profiles tools, third-party ADM editing tools, and third-party Microsoft Installer (MSI) repackaging tools. However, it should be noted that Group Policy tool manufacturers constantly create and innovate. To that end, some manufacturers choose to show off their products on www.GPanswers.com , so be sure to check out my website for updated information (if available.)
