For parameters like max password age, I think best way is to use net.exe commant. Try to execute

For more complicated group policies in computer without domain, you can prepare policies in one computer, export it to file, and inport in other computers, by using secedit.exe

Try to google secedit /export, secedit /import usage

You can call secedit from powershell without any problems

You can find it in windows registry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesNetlogonParametersMaximumPasswordAge REG_DWORD

You can get/set Registry values, somewhat counter-intuitively with the [get/set]-itemproperty commands.

Example:

Local Group Policy Powershell

However, this likely won't reflect in the Local Group Policy Editor interface.

Look up LGPO.exe, documentation is scarce, but it seems to work:https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/secguide/2016/01/21/lgpo-exe-local-group-policy-object-utility-v1-0/

Group Policy With Powershell

I’ve already posted a script to show Windows Update settings. What if you want to change the settings? In particular, I needed to be able to use MAXfocus Site Automated Tasks to change the NotificationLevel so I could control when downloads and updates happen.

The script requires one numeric parameter for NotificationLevel:

Group Policy Powershell Scripts

1 – Never check for updates
2 – Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them
3 – Download updates but let me choose whether to install them
4 – Install updates automatically

In my case, to enforce a download window of 3:00 to 7:00am, I set the NotificationLevel to 4 at 3:00am, then back to 2 at 7:00am.

The script displays the settings in effect after they have been changed.

Note that the script will not work if you controlling Windows Update through group policy. You’ll need to set the group policy items to Not Configured to allow the script to make changes.

Important The script sets most Windows Update settings to hard-coded values. It even creates a local policy registry key to set NoAutoReboot. If you want to use other values, you’ll need to modify them in the script.
