To import Managed Units, right-click the container where you want to place the Managed Units, and then click Import. In the Import Directory Objects dialog box, select the file to which the Managed Units were exported, and click Open.
NOTE: When you export and then import a Managed Unit, only membership rules are transferred along with other properties of the Managed Unit. The permission and policy settings of the Managed Unit are not exported. You need to reconfigure them manually after you import the Managed Unit.
