brandon6976 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hey guys so I know you can use gpedit.msc to edit the local machine policy, and I know how to use Server 2003 to edit the group policy, obviously with Vista there is some stuff missing from the group policy editor in Server 2003. I saw http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727029.aspx article explaining how to prep a server 2003 domain to take Vista group policy. Which I will eventually get to (my company is always nervous and wanting to go slow). That being said though I heard there is a way make the changes on a vista machine and you can export a file which if you place on a vista machine it will take those settings or something of that nature. Anyone know if there is any truth to that ? So is there a way for me to make the changes I need with gpedit on a vista machine and then deploy a file to other vista machines to get the same settings without having to go through the above article and changing AD?

brandon6976 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 found the answer incase anyone else needs it http://www.biztechmagazine.com/article.asp?item_id=300basicallyAdministrators %windir%\system32\grouppolicyusers\s-1-5-32-544\ Non-administrators %windir%\system32\grouppolicyusers\s-1-5-32-545\ User-specific policies %windir%\system32\grouppolicyusers\<ssid>\ Local computer policy, computer config. %windir%\system32\grouppolicy\machine\ Local computer policy, user config. %windir%\system32\grouppolicy\user\ the stuff above is where it all sits. If you need to copy the policy to another machine just need to copy those files. Definately not ideal but what I needed for my quick solution.
