Hi all,

I'm trying automate the configuration of security settings on new w2k
server installs. The servers will all be standalone servers. Part of my
plan is to have settings defined in the local security policy be applied
from a script.

I can export local security policy settings by using the security
configuration and analysis snap-in. Then I can use secedit to apply
that exported template to new servers in post-installation scripts.

The problem I’m having is that I don't know why any changes made in the
“administrative templates” don't seem to be included in the exported
template. When I apply this template to the new server all of those
settings are "not defined"

Are those security settings exported/saved/applied a different way than
the rest of the local security policy settings?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
CB
