Backing Up Third-Party Rules
Problem
A Forum reader recently asked:
"I haven't figured a way around yet is backing up the rules. For the regular NDS rules, I've been creating (copying Craig Johnson's example), a new OU and pasting all my rules into that for backup. For this, the LW-specific rules don't paste in, apparently because the Third Party radio button on the access rules page is greyed out and if it doesn't see a third party solution, it just ignores those rules when I paste them all in."
And here's the response from GroupWise expert Danita Zanre ...
Solution
You can only copy 3rd-party rules to a server object.
However, you can use clipboard viewer to save the contents of the clipboard to a .clp file, and restore that at any time.
This is described in detail in my BorderManager 3.x book (see http://www.craigjconsulting.com/), and there is a TID (10066764) on it as well. Just copy the rules to the clipboard in NWADMN32, and then launch CLIPBRD and save contents to a file.

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
