Import Group Policy on a local machine

Importing a group policy can both be very nerve wracking but also quite easy.

Things you'll need:

• LGPO (Which can be found here; https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55319)

I assume that you already have a admx file and want to import it for the local machine.

Login to the server and open a command prompt as administrator. Here we assume the LGPO.exe has been extracted to the C:\Users\NAME\Downloads\

• cd into the directory where the lgpo.exe is extracted (cd C:\Users\NAME\Downloads\)
• then use lgpo.exe /g (path to admx file C:\Users\NAME\Downloads\ADMXFOLDER\)

It's as simple as that.

You can also backup the current configured policies by using "lgpo.exe /b C:\Users\NAME\Downloads\BackupGPO"
