I want to compare group policies of two different machines, what is the proper way to do this?

From what I researched I found how to apply the same GP on another machine ,But I want to see what policies were set - not just copy it.

I also found that you can Export list... of group policies using the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) to a text file, which seems to be the best option, but it allows me to only export the settings Administrative Templates of a user/computer and not the whole policies.

Is there an option to export / backup to a readable file the whole GP?

*Can't use Group Policy PowerShell Cmdlets

You can use the Local Group Policy Utility, which is part of the Security Compliance Toolkit.

Create a backup: lgpo.exe /b x:\Temp /n "LGPO Backup"

Parse the policy to a text file: lgpo.exe /parse /m x:\Temp\{xxx}\DomainSysvol\GPO\Machine\registry.pol >> x:\Temp\lgpo.txt
