IP security policy on windows 2003

Question

Does anyone know how I can:

1. create IP security policy
2. manage IP filters and IP filter actions

PROGRAMMATICALLY on windows 2003? Not use Microsoft GUI utility.

I tried to achieve this by programming with windows registry, all data I need that is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\windows\IPSec\Policy\Local but I have no idea with some data. e.g the value of IPsecData,

Thank you

This is not programmatically but not GUI either: You can use command-line netsh ipsec... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739550%28WS.10%29.aspx
