Does the WIndows 2000 IPSECPOL utility (downloadable from MS) work in
Windows XP? Is it any better/worse (i.e., easier/harder to use) than the XP
Security Policy MMC snap-in?

Thanks.
 
Hi Vincent,

The command line utilities that we have for Windows machines differ from OS
to OS:
Windows2000: IPsecPol.exe
WindowsXP: IPsecCmd.exe
Windows2003: netsh (included in the OS)

The GUI is probably easier to use, but after you have reviewed and
understand IPsec then either will work fine.

A good article on using IPsecPol.exe follows:
