Group Policy Module in Windows 7

Posted in GPO | 2 Comments

I’ve tried to import group policy module on my Windows 7 workstation using following command:

Get-Command -module "Grouppolicy"

After that successfully backed up a group policy objects to share folder (size of that uncompressed backup is 217 MB)

Backup-Gpo -All -Path \\server\Backups\GPO

But when I tried to just copy Module folder to my AD Server which is Windows Server 2003 I’ve receive the following error on importing this module.

import-module grouppolicy

Import-Module : The assembly 'Microsoft.GroupPolicy.Management' was not loaded because no assembly was found. Please check the assembly name and try again.

Ok. I will search how to copy and use this assembly on Windows Server 2003
