Re: Copy group policy from one PC to another

The Computer Security Settings of the Local GPO can be exported to INF and imported to another computer. For the rest of the settings - I don't think there's a decent way to do it.

Hi

I have built two identical PC, same apps, etc. But since the hardware was
different I couldn’t image the first computer to re-image the second. I made
many changes to the Local Group Policy on the first computer, is it possible
to automate the exact same Policy settings on the second computer?

Regards
