How to make a file to update and configure local group polices and local security polices in windows 10?

Question

Dear All,

I am an IT Support in the education environment.

I need some shortcuts to make the installation of the devices go faster.
There is a way to make a batch file or batch script to make changes in Regedit.

The thing I need is to make a batch file or batch script to make changes in the Local group policy and Local security policy.
for example:

• Disable Last User Name
• Disable the Lock Option
• Disable the Shutdown Option
• Disable Switch User

And more.

Could you please help me with this issue?

Regards,
Hussain

Hello there,

LGPO.exe is a new command-line utility to automate the management of local group policy.

All the group policy editor does is set registry keys. If you can identify what keys are being set for the policy you want, you can use reg.exe to set those keys.

reg.exe add HKCU\Software\path\to\regkey\ /v valuename /d newvalue

If you do this in a batch, you will have to run the batch as administrator to touch the C:\windows\system32 folder.
