How to deploy group policy in workgroup (without AD)?

[zacca]

Hi there,

Only a small network about 10 computers.

Now I changed some settings on my own wxp via group policy, & I want to deploy those changes to the rest of the computers.

In a workgroup environemnt (without AD), how can I deploy the group policy to the rest without doing gpedit on each computer?

Many thanks!

Three different approaches:

Slighly different approach but may not work as well as some of the above.

I just want to create a custom local user template to apply to home office users before I deploy their computers to their home office? What is the easiest way to do this? I want to allow this user to access certain sites only and not allow downloads of any type, without administrative consent prior. I know that there are mmc's that can apply snap-ins for this, but isnt there a wizard or something like that?
