INTRODUCTION
Microsoft’s Local Group Policy Object (LGPO) Utility is a standalone command-line executable that assists administrators in automating the management of a computer’s local security policy. The tool uses a combination of Group Policy Template (GptTmpl.inf) files, Registry Policy (registry.pol) files, and Audit Policy (audit.csv) files to apply desired configuration settings to endpoints. The free LGPO Utility is part of Microsoft’s Security Compliance Toolkit and can be downloaded here.
