This is probably a FAQ, but I couldn't find a solution by searching
google. Is there a resource kit utility, script, or someother free
means to export the contents of a gpo or at the very least, show all the
changes a specific gpo will make?

TIA
 
You can use the Group Policy Management Console. It is new with
Windows Server 2003 but can be used to manage Windows 2000 GPO's. You
will need a computer with XP SP1 to run the console. http://www.

You could try copying the .pol files from
WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine and
WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy\User
on the machine where you have set the policy and paste
them into the same place on the other machines.
This will only configure your Administrative Templates
sections, but that's where most of the changes tend to be
made in situations where you use local policy.
