Hello all

I currently lock down our users (pupils) using Domain based Group Policies
which are working great but now I need to be able to lock down a local user
in XP Pro on Laptops.

Is it possible to somehow transfer the settings from the Domain based Group
Policy to the Laptop and use it for the Loca Policy settings?

If this is not possible then does anyone have any suggestions as to how I
can lock down a Local user on a Laptop.

Thanks in advance

Kevin
