I am currently investigating Secedit.sdb database corruption on machines. There is very little microsoft documentation on how this secedit.sdb relates to Group Policy. I can only assume for now that it was intended to Managed Local Policy settings on machines. To managed meaning, the ability to take a snapshot of the existing registry settings (LOCAL POLICIES) and export them to a file and vice versa, the ability to IMPORT policies defined as a template file to the REGISTRY.
Microsoft decided to use a JET DATABASE to store this information.
I will publish the results of my investigation.
