I'd like to create a new RRAS profile that has a very
similar IP policy as an existing profile. Rather than type
in all the ip addresses again, is there any way to copy the
policy or the profile? Even with regedit or ADSI edit?

thanks,
karl.

I don't know -- it's a good question and I am interested
though.

Thoughts:

RRAS Policies (and their profiles) are specific to the
RRAS or IAS server so this probably isn't in AD
or SysVol

(RRAS Policies also work on stand-alone servers)

When installing IAS on the same box as an RRAS server,
the EXACT same policies appear in the console so they
are located SOME place that is not completely controlled
by RRAS (ok, it could just be the same DLL.)

Likely these are in a certain directory OR the registry
(try the obvious IAS or RRAS keys)

There is a ..\System32\IAS subdirectory with a few MDB
files. Good news this might be "it", bad news all policies
might be stored together in some (non-obvious) custom
format. Copy file and open copy with Access etc....

Obvious Google search was unsuccesful:

[ "copy * RRas policy" ]

Variations on the above search weren't of much more use.
 
If you are talking about the 'Remote Access policies', you can use the netsh
command line utility to save and restore the settings on another server.
You can use the command 'netsh aaaa dump>policydump.txt' to save the whole
IAS settings or 'netsh aaaa sh remote_access_policies>RAPdump.txt'

You can restore these on another machine using 'netsh exec policydump.txt'
