samba - Jun 2004 - Exporting local policies on several computers

Hello everyone,

Not really a Samba problem, but I hope someone can help me :

I am doing some tests for integrating XP clients on Samba 3.02 with LDAP 
backend.
I have tried this on a test machine on which I have applied local 
policies withthe gpedit.msc console (ie : Delete the roaming profiles or 
hide the logon scripts...) and this work perfectly.

Now I'd like to do the same on other machines and I want to export the 
local policies I applied on the first one but it does'nt work :

I copied the Registry.pol files from one computer to another and the 
policies are visible in gpedit.msc but not applied (even if I do a 
"gpupdate" and logout)

Have I missed something or is there another method to export local 
policies from one computer to another ?

Thank you

Norbert Gomes

I found the solution : the 2 Registry.pol files are not sufficient, I 
also have to copy the gpt.ini file on the other machine. Then, I run 
"gpupdate" and the policies are applied.

Thanks

Norbert
