Help,

I have been asked to provide a report detailing the policy settings for our domain. The problem is nobody has made any documentation with these settings in.

I have looked for tools that can do this sort of thing, as poledit does not let you print off the list of settings made.

Any ideas? (Don't know if this could be achieved using KIX?)

(I don't really want to do it manually! [Frown] )

Thanks

Duncan

Yup - I would love a policy reporting tool as well. This is the farthest we've ever gone down that path, thanks to Richard Howarth:

Topic: Determine NTConfig.pol entries

Might give a read and comment.

Shawn,

Thanks, might have to look into this a bit. I can't belive that nobody has done this before. (Other than Richard)

Yeah, and Im really surprised that there isn't a freeware type utility for policy reporting (like from MS). I mean, how many time can one go through the pain of doing "screen shots" of poledit, for every category for every group policy ... frustrating to say the least.

The other thing is, a policy reporting tool would be handy to double check all your policies before they are promoted. You know how easy it is to mess things up when one forgets to include a custom template into poledit - especially if you have many groups in your org touching these policies) ... kix on my brother !

Aside from a policy documenting tool that lists all applied, I would love to see one that lists just those that aply to a particular @UserID/@WKSTA set. Especially when it comes to AD and GPOs. I mean there can be so many policies at different levels with blocks and block overrides etc.
