How can I export everything out from the local security policies as a backup?
I had tried to use

secedit /export /cfg c:\temp\local.inf /areas

However it keep prompting parameter is incorrect.

I tried to use

secedit /export /cfg c:\temp\local.inf

However settings such as services, regkeys are not being saved out.

Thanks

David,

See if this helps: The Secedit.exe command-line utility does not export
a security template for local security policy in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889532

Either try the suggested Workaround or see:
You cannot use the Secedit.exe command-line tool to export the local
security policy settings on a stand-alone workstation that is running
Microsoft Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897327

I'm not sure if the Hotfix is applicable to SP3 as the article does not
include that information. If you choose this avenue, ask if it does.

It does not export even more than you mentioned (check out the situation
with administrative template settings). If you read the syntax info from
running secedit /? you will notice it says it exports security policy
settings.
When you use the group policy editor on the local policy of a machine,
notice that there is one node labelled Security Policy ?
