GPResult on W2K

[Robert DiFalco]

For XP and Windows 2003 GPResult gives me a section for Account Policies and
Security Options. This allows me to grab into a text file values like
MinimumPasswordLength, etc. However, this information seems to be missing
from the W2K GPResult output. Does anyone have any good ideas for grabbing
the information that the XP or 2003 GPResult output with 2000? Another
command line tool perhaps or a patched GPResult for W2K?

Thanks in advance,

R.

Hello Robert,

Will you read the policy settings from your domain? Take a XP workstation
or 2003 server install GPMC and you can read all your policies.

Actually, GPMC can't create RSOP results reports against Win2K--it just
doesn't have the infrastructure. What you can do that gets you close is to
create a RSOP Modeling report for a Win2K machine. However, because security
settings have changed somewhat between Win2K and later versions that won't
be entirely correct. The alternative is to just use the secedit.exe command
line tool Win2k with the /export option to export current security policy
settings to a file.
