How to copy and rename a GP

[Guest Jim in Cleveland]

I am running Windows 2003 server (DC). We have an Adult, Children's and Teen

department. I just finished creating a GP for the Teen Department. I would

like to copy this GP to the Children's group now and make a few changes for

that department as well. I would also like to rename the copied GP for the

Teen Dept. How do I go about doing this? I followed the directions for

copying a GPO from the MS web site and that worked fine. But when I tried to

rename the GP in the Children's Department, it also renamed the GP that I

copied it from? I'm trying to avoid having to create a new GP for Childrens

from scratch.
