How to copy and rename a GP

I am running Windows 2003 server (DC). We have an Adult, Children's and Teen
department. I just finished creating a GP for the Teen Department. I would
like to copy this GP to the Children's group now and make a few changes for
that department as well. I would also like to rename the copied GP for the
Teen Dept. How do I go about doing this? I followed the directions for
copying a GPO from the MS web site and that worked fine. But when I tried to
rename the GP in the Children's Department, it also renamed the GP that I
copied it from? I'm trying to avoid having to create a new GP for Childrens
from scratch.

Hello Jim,

Install GPMC with SP1. Exactly what you need to do is included and easy to
use.
