Backup and restore the Local GPO

Backup and restore the Local GPO

In this post, I would like to introduce the method to backup and restore the Local GPO.
LOCALGPO, A handy tool to apply security setting to non-domain joined computers or Local GPO in your organization.

1. You may download Security Compliance Manager (SCM) from Microsoft.
2. Extract "Security_Compliance_Manager_Setup.exe" to a new folder A via 7zip or WinRAR.
3. Extract the "data.cab" to a new folder B.
4. In the new folder B, add the .msi extension to file named "LocalGPO"
5. Install the new MSI Installer "LocalGPO.msi"
6. Launch command-line here.cmd from C:\Program Files\LocalGPO on 32-bit systems or C:\Program Files (x86)\LocalGPO on 64-bit systems

Insert before this line the following:
If(Left(strOpVer,3) = “6.3”) and (strProductType <> “1”) then
strOS = “WS12”
