The GPA to UPA Migration feature enables administrators to seamlessly transition Group Policy Objects (GPOs) from the Group Policy Administrator (GPA) platform to the Universal Policy Administrator (UPA) environment. By leveraging this functionality, administrators can efficiently import categories and GPOs, from their Active Directory domains into UPA, ensuring a smooth migration process.
To Migrate GPO to UPA
Make sure, same domain is managed in the UPA.
In the Import-GPA-GPOs.ps1 file update the following connection strings for your specific environment:
$connstr - A SQL connection string (e.g. server:db:username:password)
$share - The share where the ps1 file is located and shared
$upaurl - The URL to the UPA server
$domain - The NETBIOS name of the domain.
Run the PowerShell command Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass file to bypass the digital sign.
Run the powershell command.\Import-GPA-GPOs.ps1 to import the GPOs.
Repository GPOs are migrated to Universal Policies in UPA.
The GPA categories will be imported as delegation OUs in the UPA web console.
