Apply GPO to single workgroup computer

I have a GPO I've exported from Group Policy Editor on a domain controller. Is there a way to apply this policy to a computer that isn't connected to a domain at all? Just a one-time application of all the settings.

Thanks

Solution 1:

All the settings no, but doing the following will allow you to import those settings that can be imported

1) Export using the Group policy from the domain and save/copy it to the local machine

2) Grab this tool Microsoft Security Compliance Manager which after install will give you LocalGPO.wsf

3) cscript LocalGPO.wsf /path:C:\path to backup\{42ADD8FE-EDF6-479B-92C6-557343D8D090}

The link for step 2 is the latest version but there is a lite/older version but depending on OS (which you don't mention) it may not work for you LocalGPO (lite version)
