Koolk3,

You want the "Group Policy Management" snap-in from Microsoft.  Should
work on 2000 as well as 2003.  The tool shows you what settings each GPO
sets.  It doesn't, to my knowledge, provide a diff from an original
install, so it isn't "ideal".  However, you can easily get a default
install config with a stand alone box and "dcpromo.exe" ;)

What we did was create an new Default domain policy and a new Default domain controller policy and use those to write our policies. This way if we ever need to go back to the default we can simply link the originals back and voila.
