Hi,

I am trying to backup the local security policy on a standalone machine so i
can set it to another one.

I cannot find any reference as to how i am to do this; do i need to:

A) Copy the "C:\Windows\System32\Group Policy" folder to the other machine?

B) Run the Security Config and Analysis Tool Import say "setup security.inf"
then select "Analyze Now" then export the results to a template then import
this template into the other pc using the same tool?

Any other thoughts greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
