I would like to know if I can configure local policyto systems on the network through the use of AD. I have a Domain policy but I would also like to set a local policy so when systems are not connected to the network (Laptops) and still enforce some level of security. Can this be done? and can there be some setting on the local policy that is different then the Domain GPO? Thanks
