the When you're looking to migrate your infrastructure into the cloud they're generally two areas of concern
that pop up time and time again, these include your applications and group policy objects (GPOs). So in this blog I'm going to look at how you collect your group policy objects, analyse them within Microsoft Intune, and deploy available settings to Windows devices. 

When examining a GPO policy within Intune, you'll first require a GPO report file. This you can either create directly or create a backup of an existing Group Policy object and requires a report .xml file. To achieve this, launch your group policy management within your own environment (Domain) and navigate to the group policy objects. Select a specific GPO for examining and then right click that GPO to make a backup. You will need to select your destination and then take a a copy of what is the gpreport.xml file. This will then be the report file you can use to import into your Intune environment.
 
With your gpreport file saved Login to Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center using an Intune administrator or  Global Admin account and navigate to: Devices > Group Policy analytics.
 Please note: this is currently still in preview at the time of doing this blog but i'm hoping it will become GA fairly soon (Fingers crossed). 
Import your GPO into Intune
​The next step is to hit the import option and select the report file you backed up previously. After you have imported the gpreport.xml file it will first show that it's being processed and then that it has been 
imported. Go ahead and close that option after which the page will start showing details straight away. 
If we take a look at my actual imported gpreport.xml in more detail you will notice that basically what it has  imported is a computer GPO which has a number of settings. The setting types contained within this group policy includes things like clear text password, lockout bad count and minimum password age.
