As an aside, v3 of the full product came out recently, we're running 2.0 in
production and having a look at 3.0 now since the Change Management features
are compelling to us.

 <inserts edited marketing blurb>

Version 3 addresses the critical need for Group Policy change and release
management. The upgrade also includes significant enhancements to
administration features including reporting, disaster recovery,
health-check, and analysis of GPOs using the Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP).

FAZAM 2000 includes Change and Release Management, a critical best practice
for implementing Group Policy. Organizations can implement processes that
require GPO changes to be formally reviewed and approved before the changes
are moved to a live Active Directory environment. Administrators also can
track the history of Group Policy Object (GPO) changes, including who made
the changes, from initial design to retirement.

More details on FAZAM 2000 v3 are available at

Unfortunately, the reduced-functionality version does not do GPO exports,
IIRC. You'll need the full version for that.
