Setting up Local policies through registry file? Possible? Help please!

[MP]

I need to run an audit on a number of servers that need to have certain
Account Policies (Password Policy and Account Lockout Policy) and Local
Policies (Audit Policy and User Rights Assignment) set up to the same
values.

Is there a way I can do this by using a REG file or by exporting/importing a
policy file which will set up to local policy as I want it? Although this
may take a little bit at first, it will save me from going in manually and
changing these values for each 2000pro machine. (I tried the export function
but it exports all the settings, I only want some of them).

I only want certain values changed (just want to be clear on this). If
someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advnace,
MP

Not through a reg file. Individually you can use security and configuration
analysis mmc snapin. otherwise you can use the
