Default Domain Policy

Obsolesce

You can restore it with gpofix. Not sure if I'd go that route though.

You could always fire up a 2008 R2 VM and promote it to a test domain and export the GPO.

let me see if I might help cause I use 2008 R2 SP1 as windows deployment role, and that for some reason requires AD, thus I have AD but I dont use it at all, so i never modify it.

We should also come up with a standard way of exporting the GPO configurations (quit laughing, I've never had to do this before! lol).

Import-Module activedirectory
Import-Module grouppolicy
Add-Type -AssemblyName "System.IO.Compression.FileSystem";

#Variables
$Path = "" #Set to where ever you want the GPOs to be stored
$gpoarray = Get-GPO -all | select Id, DisplayName #Gets all GPOs and puts their ID and Displayname in an array
$Date = Get-Date -Format MM-dd-yy 

#Backup loop
foreach($guid in $gpoarray){
	$DisplayName = $guid.DisplayName
	$BackupPath = $Path + $Date + "\" + $DisplayName 
	if(Test-Path $BackupPath){}else{mkdir "$BackupPath"}
	Backup-GPO -Guid $guid.Id -Path "$BackupPath" #This will place the GPOs in a specific path for example C:\GPOs\11-2-15\Machine Policy...
	} #Create individual folders for each GPO

#Compression
[System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::CreateFromDirectory("$Path$Date", "$Path$Date.zip");
Remove-Item $Path$Date -Force -Recurse

@coliver I like it!
