How To Break GPMC - Part 1

The Group Policy Management Console creates an XML report when you back up a GPO.  One of the things stored in that report is the name of the GPO.  That name is stored in a CDATA block and does not split the triad “]]>”.  Therefore, if you try to back up a GPO with a name containing those characters, GPMC will break.

I’m pretty sure you can find a better name anyway. :)
