2 MIC and GPO restore

[Bad boy Warrior]

Guys i have 2 questions:

1. I backed up all my GPOs using GPMC. I reformatted my server and now it doesnt recognise my GPOs. When i right click my domain in Group Policy Management then select Manage BAckups it finds all the GPOs i click restore and get the error message "Parameter is incorrect" - anyone know what to do?

2. I have 2 NICs on my server - is there any benefit here that i could have to improve perfomance or anything like that?

Thanks peeps

Only if you use 2 different networks and if your server is not DC. If your server is DC, disable the unused NIC because it can just create problems. MS doesn't support multihomed DCs

Thanks Klasika. I did what it said on the document although i have restored the GPOs it took time as i had to create a New GPO - rename it to my GPO - then use the import method to pick up the settings from my backed up GPO before it was as before - this had to be done individually for each GPO. Is there a way to do all of them at once if so coudl you please advise.

Thanks

I don't think so, anyway you should be happy that it's possible at all, before gpmc was introduced export and import was not possible at all at least not in that manner
