When importing a rule xml file to the InTrust Manager you experience an error that the "object already exists in configuration".
This may occur if the GUID of the rule being imported matches the GUID of a rule already contained in the configuration.
1) Open the rule xml file with Notepad.
2) Check for the GUID tags which look like this for example: "<Guid>{50885260-5BB8-4CEE-8C32-D4E8B7264DE0}</Guid>"
3) Query the InTrust Configuration DB to see if the GUID is already present and determine what rule it is. Use query like:
"Select * From dbo.ITRTProcessingRule where GUID= '50885260-5BB8-4CEE-8C32-D4E8B7264DE0'
4) Determine whether the rule is in fact the same as the one being imported or if it should be copied (will get new GUID) and then the original deleted.
5) Import the rule xml again if needed.
