Configure Advanced Audit Policy in 2k8 R2?

I'm looking for an easy way to configure the Advanced Audit Policy in Server 2008 R2 (SP1). Something similar to the way security templates work... or something I can export and then import on a new server with a script and a cfg file or xml file.

The books I have don't cover R2, so anything about the Advanced Audit Policy is not included.
 
The Microsoft Security Compliance Manager is a freebie that can be used to create a custom local GPO, and comes with a tool called LocalGPO that can apply your GPOs. The SCM sets up SQL to do its thing, so I think you'd want to install SCM itself on a workstation that you can use to crank out your customized GPO. Then just install LocalGPO from the lgpo.msi file on the server and use that to apply the GPO.
 
Yeah, but like I said, you don't have to install SCM on the server at all, just use a workstation. I don't think you have to even install LocalGPO itself, just copy it to a thumb drive and run it from there and it will probably work.
