How can you copy settings made on a computer with GPEDIT from one computer
to another? ie, Make all the GPEDIT settings once and then copy it to other
computers.

Many thanks in advance.
 
If the computers are members of an Active directory domain then you need to
use domain level Group Policy to manage user Group Policy settings. If the
computers are not in a domain you could try to copy the user settings by
copying the windows\system32\group policy\user\registry.pol file to another
computer in the same folder. That used to work but I have not tried it on a
XP Pro SP2 computer and you should test the results on a couple computers
before doing to all computers. For Local Security Policy computer settings
you can create a security template using the mmc snapin for Security
Templates and importing it into the Local Security Policy of each computer.
You can create a new security template or work off of an existing one to
modify and save it. --- Steve
