Is there a way to export these policies from the local security settings
from one computer to another?
   Password Policy
   Account Lockout Policy
   User Rights Assignment
   Security Options

I can open up the local security settings and then export the list to a txt
file, but I have no idea what to do from there. I tried Action and then
import policy on the recieving computer, but it defults to a system folder
and an inf file. (I have a feeling this is the wrong thing to do)

I have tried using secedit /export, but don't know how to use the switches
and options to move the data I want to the floppy and then back to the second
computer. (I am weak when it comes to command line skills)

I think I even tried coping the files in the
windows\security\templates\policies folder over with no luck.

Help!
