Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit

Hi Laura,

Thanks for the reply its appreciated

I have executed the Policy Viewer and imported one Backup GPO from pre-prod using the Add button and Add Files from GPO. . .  option.

The object that is in the container that the Backup GPO processes against is a W2012R2 server. In my policy Analyzer tool I have selected MSFT-WS2012RS-FINAL and the Backup GPO called Windows update Policy. 

I have run the View / Compare option and am presented with quite a bit of information I assume relate to MSFT-WS2012R2-FINAL and the Backup GPO. See below.

However, I have a few questions about the output and what it means. I see a yellow CONFLICT  on the report and the Policy Type is Audit Policy. I am not sure what this is and what it means to the Backup GPO. See Below. 

I see information on the Backup GPO but not on the MSFT-WS2012R2-FINAL side of the output, could you explain what this means, I assume its settings on the Backup GPO that MSFT-WS2012R2-FINAL doesn't apply against the security Hardening for itself, I also see quite a bit of information on the MSFT-WS2012R2-FINAL side that and is grey Blank on the Backup GPO side. See Below.

One final question relates to the Policy Type again, and specifically the Security Template. I see quite a lot of information on the MSFT-WS2012R2-FINAL i see quite a lot of information regarding Security Templates and nothing on the Backup GPO side also there appears to be quite a few Yellow Conflicts. Please could you let me know what this all means. See Below.

Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Regards.
