RE: AD Policy audit tool for Windows 2000

Koolk3,

You want the "Group Policy Management" snap-in from Microsoft. Should
work on 2000 as well as 2003. The tool shows you what settings each GPO
sets. It doesn't, to my knowledge, provide a diff from an original
install, so it isn't "ideal". However, you can easily get a default
install config with a stand alone box and "dcpromo.exe" ;)

Best Regards,
Scott Ramsdell

Subject: AD Policy audit tool for Windows 2000

Hello list,

Basically, I am trying to find the policies that has been changed by
active directory after a default Windows 2000 installation. The policies
were modifed without any documenattion and now it is a problem.

I am looking for a tool that can help me audit Active Directory policies
that has been applied to Windows 2000 workstations. Ideally the tool
should know the default policy (from original win 2000
install) and then give me a report on what has changed.

Most tools that does this are for Windows XP and I need something for
Windows 2000.

Any suggestions?

Sincerely,
--
