Guest David Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 How can I export everything out from the local security policies as a backup? I had tried to use secedit /export /cfg c:\temp\local.inf /areas However it keep prompting parameter is incorrect. I tried to use secedit /export /cfg c:\temp\local.inf However settings such as services, regkeys are not being saved out. Thanks Quote
Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 David, See if this helps: The Secedit.exe command-line utility does not export a security template for local security policy in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889532 Either try the suggested Workaround or see: You cannot use the Secedit.exe command-line tool to export the local security policy settings on a stand-alone workstation that is running Microsoft Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897327 I'm not sure if the Hotfix is applicable to SP3 as the article does not include that information. If you choose this avenue, ask if it does.

Guest Roger Abell [MVP] Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 It does not export even more than you mentioned (check out the situation with administrative template settings). If you read the syntax info from running secedit /? you will notice it says it exports security policy settings. When you use the group policy editor on the local policy of a machine, notice that there is one node labelled Security Policy ?
