Hi Howard,
If all you want are differences in ADM files than admx would work. If you
need security settings on the policies, GUIDs and everything else you can
use the gpmc scripts under C:\program files\gpmc\scripts.
If you run "cscript GetReportsForAllGPOs.wsf c:\outputfolder
/domain:domain.com" it will create an XML and an HTML output file for every
policy.
Right-click each HTML version of the file and open it in Excel. A little
bit of cleanup and its done.
NOTE: To find out the usage of each script just enter the scriptname in
command line followed with /?.
There is a third-party tool called FAZAM from fullarmor (
www.fullarmor.com)
that can produce Group Policy reports. There is a free trial version
included on the Win2000 CD, but I believe that only works on an AD with a
certain number of users. I'm not sure of any other vendors that do this.

Hello again. I'm looking at the ADM File Parser from the Windows 2003
resource kit, trying to see if this will do what I need to in getting my GPO
info into a spreadsheet. It seems to say that parser can only be used on
..adm files that have been built based on the adminsitratrive tempaltes.
