Migrate GPOs to other domains

Simple powershell command to backup GPOs from one domain and then migrate them to another, whilst prepending the target GPO names with "MIGRATED - ".

Usage

  • Copy the ps1 file from this project to your origin DC, or a machine that is joined to your origin domain.
  • Edit the ps1 file to include the source/origin domain name. e.g. 
    $domain = "mydomain.tld"

Backing up GPOs

If you would like to backup all GPOs, simply run the ps1 file with the Backup argument. e.g.

.\migrate-gpos.ps1 Backup

If you want to backup a specific GPO, you can provide a -Name parameter specifying the GPO to backup. e.g.

.\migrate-gpos.ps1 Backup -Name "My GPO Name"

These commands will create a folder called "GPOs" in the same directory as the ps1 file, along with a mapping.csv file, which will contain the GPO name mappings.

Copy the GPOs folder, the mapping.csv file and the ps1 script file to the destination DC, or a machine that is joined to your destination domain.

Importing GPOs

If you would like to import all backed up GPOs, run the ps1 file with the Import argument. e.g.

.\migrate-gpos.ps1 Import

If you want to import a specific backed up GPO, youh can provide a -Name parameter specifying the old GPO name. e.g.

.\migrate-gpos.ps1 Import -Name "Name of GPO from the other domain"

Open Group Policy Management and link these policies to the necessary containers.
