Local Group Policies - Apply to All Users Except Administrators

Hello,
This works GREAT for my application, but I have quite a few computers to push policies to as we're rolling out Win7 machines here, but won't be switching from AD2003 for a while yet.
I'd seen a suggestion for redeploying GP where an admin could copy the %SystemRoot%\Windows32\GroupPolicy folder from a configured computer to a new one, and run a gpupdate /force, and it's all set.
You've written a script to backup and restore (or redeploy if done right) the GP, but neither option work.
The GP must be stored elsewhere if it's only for non-admins, and I can't be chasing down workarounds if even Admins are denied access to the control panel, this method is the only way to apply GP at this time.
Do you have any suggestions for locating and copying the GP for non-admins?
Thanks!

Hello,
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to export or import non-administrator settings, although admittedly I've only been able to try the LocalGPO tool.
Any further suggestions?

Thank you Shawn.
According to this post, SRP is working fine with me for all local (non-administrator) users, and not working with DOMAIN USERS.

But i want to take your attention into more depth.
In my scenario, my computer in under a DOMAIN also. I want to restrict all DOMAIN USERS as well as non-administrator users.
That means, how do i RESTRICT DOMAIN USERS from running a software (say chrome.exe) by applying SRP from local group/security policy?

NOTE:
I refer the MOTHER post of this post is from Software Restriction Policies is wrongly applied to Administrator.

Thank you. I appreciate your posts. This solution is for Local Users only.
What I need is to Restrict DOMAIN USERs as well.

Hello rasctgbd, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

You might see if you may be able to use one of the methods in one of the tutorials below for this in a domain.

AppLocker - Create New Rules

Applications - Prevent Running Specified Programs

Applications - Run Only Specified Programs in Windows

this is a great help thanks for posting. is there a way to change the users associated with this policy after it has been made. say you want to add or change users that are affected by this policy or remove the policy all together. i tried to delete the MSC file but the policy rules still affect those users. (thanks for any advise)

great procedure thanks a lot!!!

only a (very probably stupid) question: I have to set only the policies under "user configuration" section or may I act also under "computer configuration" section without involve the user administrator?

better: if I use this procedure and then modify some policies under "computer configuration", they will be applied also to administrator or not?

thanks again!
