Key
   -All  Restore all GPOs in the domain that have backups in the backup directory.
         Each GPO is restored from its most recent backup in the directory.

   -BackupId Guid

         The backup ID is a globally unique identifier (GUID) that uniquely identifies the backup. 

   -Domain string
         The domain in which you want to restore the GPO, requires a trust relationship if
         not the current domain.

   -Guid Guid
         Specifies the GPO to restore by its globally unique identifier (GUID).

   -Name Name
         Specifies the GPO to restore by its display name. The GPO is restored from its most
         recent backup in the backup directory. To specify an older backup, use -BackupId.

   -Path string
         The path to the backup directory; for example, "C:\Backups" or "\\Server64\Backups".

   -Server string
         The name of the domain controller that should complete the operation.
         Specify either a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or the host name.
         For example: 
         FQDN:      DomainController1.europe.ss64.com
         Host Name: DomainController1

   -Confirm
       Prompt for confirmation before executing the command.

   -WhatIf
       Describe what would happen if you executed the command without actually executing the command.

The current/default domain is that of the user that is running the session or, for startup and shutdown scripts, the computer.
