Group Policy Deletion

[Guest]

I made several additions to my sceregvl.inf file. These changes then
appeared in my Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options. Everything
worked perfectly except now I want to remove one of the Policies that I made.
I removed it from the inf file but it is still in the Security Options. How
do I remove this?

Thanks,
Joe Sorenson

Removing the .inf file won't remove the entry because the entry itself is
stored in a security settings file in SYSVOL. Depending upon the policy,
your best bet may be to leave the .inf file there long enough to reverse the
policy setting and let that propagate. Then you can get rid of the .inf.

Put it back in and set it to not configured.

Another way:
The settings is stored inside the gpttmpl.inf of each GPO, where
you used this setting. Just edit it. Its a text file.
If there is no entry of your specific created one, the setting will
be automatically set to not configured. Afterwards you can clean up
your sceregvl.inf
