There's the not supported method by Microsoft. From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222
“secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose”

How to restore may also depend upon what changes you have made.  You could create your own default template from a non-secured machine and import that, or create a custom template that is the opposite of just the settings you configured.

It sounds like you've used Zenworks to set policies on the workstations?
I think it would be easiest to use Zen to undo your specific policies before the migration, rather than attempt to have AD/GPO undo what Novell has done,,,
