Hi Roger,

Well I also have read the documentation on this and understand that using AD to transport these
policies is the way they intented it to be used but that still means that the computer which holds
these policies always has to be kept backed up.

What I'm saying here is that for instance,...suppose one of these computers get messed up, stolen,
hacked or whatever and you have no backup then it still means you have to manually created these
policies again. Seems just so stupid that admins can't make backups of their working path rules in
case heaven forbids one of their main AD comps get knocked out of commission. Sure there is ghost
and NTbackup and whatever but that is not what I'm after, I need backups of individual
configurations like you have for instance with the security templates and such. Much easier and you
can choose what to install.

Well, I geuss thats it then for now...adventure over regarding software policies. Geuss I'll have to
add them manually whenever I get the misfortune off loosing any backups. Anyhow, I'll be keeping an
eye out for any information that might come out.

Kind Regards,
Jan
