Policy Analyzer showing incorrect values
Today I created a backup of my group policy objects and compared them to Microsoft's baselines. But, the GPO backup seems to be displaying the wrong values in Policy Analyzer. As seen in...
Yes, I backed up all the GPO's and put them into the policy analyzer.
The policy analyzer shows the setting is from the Default Domain Policy, but the Default Domain Policy is shown on the right with different settings.

The discrepancy is between the GPO backup and the GPO you're displaying. Policy Analyzer is interpreting the backup correctly.
- So the question is, why is the GPO backup wrong?
- Perhaps start over and double-check the entire process:
1. Are you sure you're backing up the correct GPO(s)?
2. Are you sure you're importing the correct backup(s) into Policy Analyzer, and no other backups?- Okay, I started over. I'll explain step by step what I did.
Right clicked on Group Policy Objects in Group Policy Management > Back Up All
All GPOs successfully backed up
Copied the GPOs to a network folder and then to my device
Opened up Policy Analyzer > Add and then File > Add files from GPO(s)
Then clicked Import to save the .policyrules
Afterwards I selected that policy along with the MSFT baseline and clicked view/compare.
I'm still getting the exact same results
