sorry laura, but i do believe you are confused.

you want to use 'secedit' to export GPOs, LDFIDE exports lists of AD objects
in Line Delimited format, it is the partner to CSVIDE which exports AD
contents into Comma Seperated Values.

check the help for more info on 'secedit' or the usual 'c:\secedit /?'

You can use LDIFDE to do this. LDIFDE (LDIF Directory Export, IIRC) is a
command-line utility installed on Windows 2000 server boxes that allows you
to import/export/modify LDAP directories using text files. The utility is
not installed on Win2K pro boxes even with adminpak, but it should be on any
of your server installations.

If you're running it from a DC, you would just open a command prompt and
type

ldifde -f <name of file to export to>

There'd be other options you would have to type depending on the credentials
you want to use to connect and how much you want to export, but the utility
is relatively self-explanatory.
