Is it possible to script Local Policy Settings

[josephk73]

Hi All,

A friend of mine has asked if it is possible to script components of the Local Computer Policy for Windows 2000 servers.

In particular, I want to script the Local Audit Policies - ie Audit logon events, Audit policy change, Audit system events etc.

I've looked high and low, but I've not come up with anything for Windows 2000. I know that 2003 have recently added this functionality, but does it exist for Windows 2000?

Any help would be great.

Nope, group policy still needs to be done manually as far as I know.

You can use SecEdit and scripting to import a database. This would let you use one machine as a template. You export the database and then import the security settings on another machine.



I hope you find this post helpful.
