There is no out of the box way to do this but depending upon which policy areas you wish to copy it can be relatively easy or relatively difficult to automate. For example, if you just need Administrative Templates policy, then you can create a "reference" machine that has those policies set as you want them. Then, you can copy the registry.pol file found within c:\windows\system32\grouppolicy\machine and c:\windows\system32\grouppolicy\user to the same location on your target machines. If you need other policies then it will depend upon which ones you need as to how easy or hard it is to automate copying. For example, local security policy is not stored on the file system like Admin. Template policy is--it is made directly against the local SAM. So, the best bet for "copying" local security policy is to use the Security Templates MMC snap-in to create a template of your desired security configuration and then use secedit to automate importing it onto your target machines.
