Cleaning up Local Group Policy

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

Hello,

Thanks for posting!

I understand that you want to clean up Local Group Policy. Based on the
description, before we go further, please help me confirm the following
information since the cause can occur under multiple situations.

1. After you remove a specific policy setting, do you run "Gpupdate /force"
in command prompt to force the update the Group policy?

2. After you remove the specific policy setting, does the function still
work? Additionally, you may check to see the policy through registry.
Please refer to the following table:

Group Policy Registry Table

-us/regentry/GPRef.asp

| I have a quick question related to cleaning up local group policies. For

| setting...in the GPO Results Wizard it shows the local policy as being
| applied last (I think that was the way I was reading it) but since then I
| have removed the local group policy setting that I had made, the GPO
Results
| Wizard is still showing that a Local Group Policy is being applied; and
is
| confusing because I am looking to see what might still be present and
can't
| find any settings
|
| My question is this...how can I clear the local group policy settings so
| that the Results Wizrd does not report that any local settings might have
| been applied.

The policy always applies. I am not sure if there is a way to stop the local
policy from applying or why you would want to do that. If the policy doesn't
do anything extra, why does it matter that it is applied?
