Exporting Universal Policies and Updating OU Links

When you have made updates to the policy and are ready to export it to live Active Directory, follow the instructions below.

  1. Log in to the Web Console as an Administrator or Exporter and navigate to the Universal Policies tab.

NOTE: The Universal Policy must be in Approved State to export to the Active Directory.

  1. Select a Universal Policy for which you want to update the GPO and OU links and click Export to Active Directory.
  2. Specify when you want to export the Universal Policy. Select Now to export the policy immediately. Select Later to export the policy at the specified Date and Time.
  3. Click +Include GPO.
    • Select a GPO from the list. If the GPO that you want to include is not in the list, click New GPO to add the GPO to the list.
    • Enter a name for the GPO and click Add.
    • Click Include.
  4. (Optional) Select Update All Links to update the OU links for that GPO. This option is not selected by default so that you can make sure all GPO changes have been exported to AD prior to updating OU link changes.
  5. You can verify the linked OUs in GPMC.

Please Note:  If you are using Least Privilege Access (LPA) accounts, then the Service account needs to be delegated access to modify an existing GPO.  See the LPA section for details.
