Hi folks I am looking for software that can make a report on every
instance of what is enabled in a LOCAL GROUP POLICY on a stand alone
Windows 2000 Server with no active directory installed on the network
(still a NT4 domain infrastructure). A admin before me had a field day
with the local group policy on two Windows 2000 terminal servers and
the policies are not applied consistently across the two servers. I
have found tools that do reporting for a server that resides in a
active directory but no tool will function on a stand-alone Local
Group policy. This tool should be able to record changes done to a
local policy and also create a report of some type of all the features
that is enabled/inactive/disabled so I can print it out and easily see
everything in front of me.

 I used GPRESULT but not all the keys were covered in full. GPRESULT
is inadequate.

FAZAAM,POLMAN, NET IQ require Active Directory installed.

Hi, 

this may sound kind of basic, but I need to know why this isn't rather
straight forward for you. Please read this page, and let me know where
you are having trouble beyond what this shows you.

Hi WebAdept,

This tool 

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/proddocs/sag_SPconcepts_26.asp

you mention is what you use to  configure the local system policy in
windows 2000. I am looking for a tool that will extract the
information and send it out in a report format. If not I will have to
look at each setting by hand and record it accordingly.

Ah.. very good. Just wanted to make sure we weren't over looking the
obvious. Do you or can you use Perl? Because if I can't find a tool to
do this, I can probably write a quick script to do it.

I am not too familiar with Perl but I can install a Perl interpreter
on the server if you found or created a tool.
thanks WebAdept.
