/db <database file name>
<systemroot>\Documents and Settings\<UserAccount>\My Documents\Security\Logs\<databasename>.log
Examples
To export the security database and the domain security policies to an .inf file, and then to import that file to a different database to replicate the policy settings on another computer, type:
secedit /export /db C:\Security\FY11\SecDbContoso.sdb /mergedpolicy /cfg NetworkShare\Policies\SecContoso.inf /log C:\Security\FY11\SecAnalysisContosoFY11.log /quiet
To import just the security policies portion of the file to a different database on another computer, type:
secedit /import /db C:\Security\FY12\SecDbContoso.sdb /cfg NetworkShare\Policies\SecContoso.inf /areas securitypolicy /log C:\Security\FY11\SecAnalysisContosoFY12.log /quiet
secedit /validate
Validates the security settings stored in a security template (.inf file). Validating security templates can help you determine if one is corrupted or inappropriately set. Corrupted or inappropriately set security templates aren't applied.
Syntax
secedit /validate <configuration file name>
Parameters
Parameter
Description
<configuration file name>
Required. Specifies the path and file name for the security template that will be validated. Log files aren't updated by this command.
<configuration file name>
Examples
To verify that the rollback .inf file, secRBKcontoso.inf, is still valid after rollback, type:
secedit /validate secRBKcontoso.inf
secedit commands
Configures and analyzes system security by comparing your current security configuration against specified security templates.
Note
The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in are not available on Server Core.
Syntax
secedit /analyze
secedit /configure
secedit /export
secedit /generaterollback
secedit /import
secedit /validate
Parameters
Parameter
Description
secedit /analyze
Allows you to analyze current systems settings against baseline settings that are stored in a database. The analysis results are stored in a separate area of the database and can be viewed in the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in.
secedit /configure
Allows you to configure a system with security settings stored in a database.
secedit /export
Allows you to export security settings stored in a database.
secedit /generaterollback
Allows you to generate a rollback template with respect to a configuration template.
secedit /import
Allows you to import a security template into a database so that the settings specified in the template can be applied to a system or analyzed against a system.
secedit /validate
Allows you to validate the syntax of a security template.
Remarks
If there is no filepath specified, all filenames will default to the current directory.
Your analysis results are stored in a separate area of the database and can be viewed in the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in to the MMC.
If your security templates are created by using the Security Template snap-in, and if you run the Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in against those templates, the following files are created:
