I have to set the local group policy settings and the the local security policy for a couple of machines which are not in a Windows domain. Until now, I've done that by manually setting the keys in gpedit. Due to the transition to Windows 10, I would like to automate that and use a batch or PowerShell script to set them. It would be very nice if this can be done without 3rd-party tools.
How can I set these policies using Powershell or a batch file?
Thank you for your answers in advance!

You can do it in PowerShell using
Set-ItemProperty
on the Registry provider; e.g. to disable Windows Update Access, you can run:(HKLM:\ being the standard alias for the "Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\" registry drive path.)
