I have several XP Pro desktops which are not in our Domain. They are remote stations not even connected to the network (Users log in locally to the PC). What I want to be able to do is create a set of local policies (using GPEDIT) on one of the PC's and then rather than having to redo the same procedure on the other two PCs, just copy the policies I created to the computers. Basically an Export/Import type of idea. Any help on this would be appriciated.

Thank you in advance.

You need the Group policy management console.

The Group Policy Management Console provides:

* A user interface based on how customers use and manage Group Policy, rather than on how the technology is built.
* Import/Export and Copy/Paste of Group Policy objects (GPOs).
* Simplified management of Group Policy-related security.
* Reporting (printing, saving, read-only access to GPOs) for GPO and Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) data.
* Backup/Restore of GPOs.
* Scripting of GPO operations that are exposed within this tool (but NOT scripting of settings within a GPO)
