I installed SCM 3.0 on Windows 8.1, and I then imported the 8.1 "Beta" baseline and made a copy and modified it. I want to make sure I understand the general schema of how this tool would be used with Windows 8.1 on a standalone computer (no domain):
1) Use the SCM 3.0 to edit baseline configurations, and to export those as a GPO Folder
2) Use the LocalGPO command line tool to import the GPO Folders as the current local security policy (assuming you are not in a domain with the settings in group policy).
3) Use secpol.msc to view the current security policy.
Is this the basic idea? It's a very disconnected set of user interfaces, and somewhat confusing.
It looks like secpol.msc can only view a subset of all things you can configure in the baseline? Is LocalGPO applying the full baseline settings?
