    Enforcer configurations are all stored in the group that it belongs to. Click on the Enforcer Group, under tasks you will notice that there is an option to Export Properties/Settings. This will create a XML file.

    The XML file is all you need. The next time you re-register your Enforcer with SEPM, Click on the new Enforcer Group and select Import Properties/Settings. All settings previously configured and exported will be ported in.

    Once Enforcer receives this policy ID, remember to do a reboot on the Enforcer. ( The reboot is suggested due to my experience.)

    Sorry,

    If I had understood you wrongly and you were refering to those settings that you see when you issue a "show config" command in a Enforcer, I'm afraid you will probably have to take note of it manually.

    Workaround is use Putty to do a SSH to the Enforcer, ensure logging is enabled so it write to a textfile. Once logged in, issue command  "show configure" the entire configuration displayed will be written to a text file.

    Use that textfile in future to reconfigure Enforcer accordingly.
