Exchange mail server settings - easy dump possible?

I've been playing with a trial version of Exchange Server 2003.
Using the NIST, NSA and Microsoft security guidelines I'm getting a better
idea of the relevant security settings.
But it's a pain to click through all the relevant screens in the System
Manager GUI.

Is there a tool that dumps all the settings in one readable text file - for
example like Dumpsec ?
I haven't been able to find it yet.

I have found and used the Exchange Best Practices Analyzer Tool, and it
works fine and covers some of the relevant settings but (AFAIK) not all of
them.

Or are the settings stored in the registry, a config file or an XML-file
with settings somewhere?
I'm reluctant to try scripting, because I fear that the learning curve will
be steep (I know VBscript but not the WMI/API interfaces I would probably
need).

I will search through my old WindowsITPro magazines and probably it will be
in here somewhere ...

Thanks for any suggestions.
