I am restoring a system state backup to my test environment win2003 DC's.
After my backup and before my restore, I deleted a GPO. During the wizard I chose "Restore to: Original Location" and "Leave Existing Files". Post restore, the GPO was once again listed in gpmc, but was not restored to SYSVOL.
FYI I did this from DSRM, exactly per these steps: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc758435(v=ws.10).aspx
Thanks in advance,
