Group Policy - Item level targetting

[mrbios]

Is there a granular way to edit item level targetting without having to use the GUI?

 

I essentially need to take a ton of ILT settings from one place, and apply it to another place, doing this manually would take ages. I know it lets me "Display XML" but it doesn't appear to let me do any form of productive editing via the xml. Any suggestions?

Potentially risky but you could edit the XML of the target policy by browsing to \\domain\sysvol\domain\Policies\{GUID} and making the changes there, would think the worst damage you would do is to break the single policy you are working on. You can get the policy's GUID out of group policy management.

 

Edit: That's assuming that the ILT is actually saved as XML in the first place.

Ah didn't think of that.

 

Looks like that should work. I'm taking the ILT (or filtering in the XML) from printers and applying the same filters to some registry keys. Looks like it should be ok so long as I'm careful, as both sections have the information i need held within brackets, and i doubt any formatting changes.

 

Thanks
