    Hi, I would like to know, if it is possible to export/import GPO on a standalone PC?
    My PC is not part of a domain and I have no domain account, so this will not help:

    http://calnetad.berkeley.edu/documentation/technical/gpmc

    If I use "gpedit.msc", well I can not export from there and when I use "gpmc.msc", I get this:

    I am trying to get it done for a year and half and so far I found no method, that would work. :'(

    Hello,

    Radical solution:

    Go to:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy

    Copy *.adm files and paste in to new machine.

    You can try in virtual machine to see if it works.
    You have separate folders for user, machine, scripts etc...

    Mrk

    I enabled "Lock the taskbar" in GPO - I copied "GroupPolicy" folder.
    I disabled "Lock the taskbar" in GPO - I replaced "GroupPolicy" folder - restart.
    After restart GPO has been applied. This looks really promising. Thank you man.

    I will test it on clean instal tomorrow and then I will report the results as soon as possible.
    About Virtual PC 2007, I can not download it due to some of my settings, so I will just format.

    Just an example from GPO, but if that worked, all of that stuff should as well.
    I just wonder, how would mine user's GPO apply to other newly created users.

    I started my security research 18 months ago, thanks to one skilled russian man.
    He showed me, how to set up NetBIOS, services, I started to use IE7 alfa and so on.
    GPO was mine goal since then and till now, it looked that I will never be able get it done.
    Anyway with GPO working I have no reason to try Linux, since Windows is superior in security.

    Hello,
    Well now you have to thank another skilled russian man - not that I'm russian.
    But I'm disappointed. After 18 months, I made your dream come true - and killed a Linux convert!! No! Come to Linux....
    Windows superior in securityo_O Come on! Creme de la crap!

    Well he only lives and works in Russia, but he is from Netherland.
    Anyway, I just did a clean instal and it works. Thank you very much.

    I have been searching for "the best Linux", so far it looked that Ubuntu is nice, but.
    But there are so many things I do not like about it, that I do not know, where to begin.

    Well, I have finally get Windows to do, what I want it do it, it is safe without any realtime aplications and now with GPO it will be like a heaven. So I am quite happy. Thanks again.
