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...
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

- Nope, I've done this four different times now and have not made copies or imported it multiple times.
You might have imported multiple copies of the backups, or imported it multiple times.
- Huh, I'm not sure why it says that. I went and looked in the Group Policy Objects, there is only one Default Domain Policy. I appreciate your help.
d_irving : I don't have an answer. But one thing I noticed from your original screenshot is that you seem to have two GPOs called "Default Domain Policy."
