Exporting the SCM baseline policy

At this point, you have created a new policy that contains your custom policy and best practices provided by SCM. The next step is to export this policy to a supported format. Since we are dealing with Active Directory and GPO, we will be exporting it into a GPO-based policy. You can perform the following steps to export an SCM policy to a GPO-based backup policy:

  1. Select the policy from Microsoft Compliance Security Manager. From the Export section, select the GPO Backup (Folder) option.
