That's going to be tough...
I don't know of any ways.

Maybe you can copy the ntuser.pol (hidden) from the machine and copy it to others. (I don't recommend this however fear.gif )

It's actually not as hard as you think.

Configure one machine just the way you want it to be.

Than copy C:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy folder on to each of your target machines. You should be overwriting the existing folder and subfolders.

To check run gpedit.msc on each of these machines and compare.

Sorry guys......I haven't played with GP 2.0 just yet. I only learned this because I needed to write a in-place upgrade for work.
