Is there such an animal as a pre-configured, templated-type, GPO that
adheres to the best practices? I'd like to take one, import it, and
then modify, rather than go through ALL of the settings one at a time.
This is, of course, a test environment, but I will want to
export/import them when finished to the production environment.
 
There is! The .inf template files are located in
%WINDIR%\security\templates. If you open your group policy navigate to
"Computer Configuration>Windows Settings" Right click on "Security
Settings" and click on "Import policy" The default path should be the one i
mentioned above. You can then choose a policy to import. If you open the
inf files and scroll to the bottom it will give you a small description of
each policy. You can also just look through the settings yourself. Hope
this helps!
