Hello,
try what is mentioned in this article:

As registry modifications are involved, backup your system state before proceeding.
You can also try to copy group policy settings from another computer.

Hello!
Thank you for a quick reply! Unfortunatly, the article didn't work.
But I've a other computer sat up exactly how we want them. How do I export the group policies of this one, and import them to another?

Hello,
you can try to copy and paste the content of %systemroot%\system32\grouppolicy from a computer to another. This technique will not let you copy security policies. AFAIK, you can use
secedit.exe to export security settings.
