Re: WMI missing security settings

Thanks. This means there is no programming interface to get those settings.

secedit fails to export any settings on Windows XP, w/o a patch. This makes
things even less convenient.

Yes, I believe the RSoP_x WMI settings will only account for the group
security policy instead of the local policy. Yes, the SECEDIT
command-line tool should be used to modify the Group Policy immediately.
See the KB below:
