Comparing Group Policies in two different domains

-
I was wondering if there was a powershell command or tool that would compare all group policies in one domain with policies in another domain? Right now i have exported the policies in both domains to an xml file. Doing a stare and compare is taking absolutely to much time.

Powershell has a built in compare command, but if you are not familiar with powershell it may be too difficult to use. An alternative could be notepad++ has a plugin called compare that lets you load two files and it will determine where they are different. It's not loaded by default so you need to use the plugin manager to download it.
