Romulo,I was checking out your old posts and stumbled on this one. My team just released a beta version of a new (and free) product called Security Compliance Manager. There's a component in it called the Local Policy Tool. LPT will do what you want, here's the documentation I wrote for it. To get access to the beta you have to get a Connect account and then ask to join the Beta review for Security Compliance Manager. Or you can wait a few months for the final version to be posted on the Download Center. Introducing the Local Policy Tool When you install the SCM tool, another utility called the Local Policy Tool (LPT) becomes available. This tool is designed to assist you with three optional tasks: · Applying a security baseline to the local Group Policy of a computer. · Exporting the local Group Policy of a computer to a group policy backup file. · Updating the user interface of the Group Policy management tools. You may want to apply the settings to the local Group Policy for stand-alone computers. You should update the user interface on the computers you will use to manage Group Policy so that you can view and manage the additional security settings discussed in this guide. The following sections discuss how to use the LPT to accomplish these tasks. ... Exporting Local Group Policy to a GPO Backup You can use LPT to export a computer’s local Group Policy to a GPO backup file, which you can than apply to the local Group Policy of other computers or import into Active Directory. To export local Group Policy to a GPO backup file 1. Log on as an administrator. 2. On the computer, click Start, click All Programs, and then click LocalGPO. 3. Right-click LocalGPO Command Line, and then click Run as administrator to open a command prompt with full administrative privileges. Note If prompted for logon credentials, type your user name and password, and then press ENTER. 4. At the command prompt, type cscript LocalGPO.wsf /Path:<path> /Export and then press ENTER where <path> is the path to the GPO backup. 5. Completing this procedure exports all local security policy settings to a GPO backup. Kurt Dillard http://www.kurtdillard.com
