The GPOTools module is designed to handle all things GPO.
As a special focus, it tries to manage migrations, backup & restore.
Compared to the built-in tools, its backup&restore capability also includes:
- WMI Filter
- GP Links & Link Order
- Localized / Renamed builtin accounts & groups mapping
- Customizable identity mapping
- Permissions
