It's a local Group Policy, right? Have a look at this:

Hi, thanks for your reply,

I want to explaint the steps that I doit:

1.in the first win2K Workstation - open mmc - group policy
2.configure - the system time change, the " DISABLE RUN", and the "COMMAND
PROMPT".
copy the c:\winnt\system32\groupolicy\*.* to
\\new\c\winnt\system32\grouppolicy

restart to the new computer , nothing .........it's not work

is there any registry configure?

You copied both the "USER" and "MACHINE" folder? What settings did you
make in your local policies?

Of course you could do that via registry, if you know the registry keys.
Just look up the policies you configured in the corresponding *.ADM
template files in %windir%\inf - or in the following spreadsheet:

Depending on the settings you're trying to alter, you'll need to put
your *.reg-file into a computer startup script.

thanks for your reply,

yes I copied both the user and machine folder.
the changes that I want to do:

"remove run from the start menu"
"disable the command prompt"
"change the system time" permession.

yes I copied both the user and machine folder.

But the copy process should work. Have you tried rebooting both machines
after you have altered the Group Policies in the GPEditor and after you
copied the settings to the new machine?

the changes that I want to do:

"remove run from the start menu"

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer - Value
is "NoRun"

"disable the command prompt"

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System - DisableCMD

"change the system time" permession.

This needs to be done via a security template.

I wonder why you would do this since they're not domain based. How many
other workstations are you trying to configure like this? It it's just
one with these three settings, you'll be faster by logging on from
remote and configure the settings by hand?
