When I create a GPO A Guid gets created under the \domain\policies\
folder. If I create this policy in two seperate domains(lab and
production) will the GUID be the same on both?
 
I wouldn't think so, otherwise it wouldn't be globally unique. What are you
trying to do, migrate policies from the lab to production?
 
I have done this before using the GPMC and it was easy enough to do. If the
domain names for lab and production are the same then you can just use GPMC
to backup the GPOs and then restore them to production. If the domain names
are different (domain.lab and domain.com) you can still do it but need to
use the migration table in GPMC as well.
Best of all, if the two domains are not physically isolated you can use GPMC
scripting to automatically transfer the policies between the domains.
