I have a Windows 7 embeded machine that has 3 user accounts. All are required to be admin, but two of the 3 should be restricted with specific group policies. I have applied those specific group policies by following this method to account #2.

Is there a way to easily copy the policies that were applied to account #2 to account #3 without using gpedit.msc and going though each and every single one?(there are hundreds)

The end result should be that account #1 remains admin, and accounts number #2 and #3 are restricted. (account #3 is already restricted, I need to copy this to account #2 without going through every single policy again)

I am going to copy the answer from the source in case it gets deleted or closed: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2030e62e-a60d-442a-8455-647b569caffb/export-import-local-group-policy-objects?forum=itproxpsp

1.) Open %systemroot%\system32\grouppolicy\

Within this folder, there are two folders - machine and user. Copy these to folders to the %systemroot%\system32\grouppolicy - folder on the target machine. Restart the machine or run GPUPDATE /force

Note :- %systemroot%\system32\grouppolicy is a hidden folder. You need to enable viewing of hidden folders in explorer.

2) Use the Security Configuration Tool https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2000/bb742512(v=technet.10)
