Rick, Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, my question is more geared around the registry keys (or hopefully GPO settings) that I need to modify to get this working. I did a registry scan and it appears that the reg keys in question are in Binary format. I was hoping that someone might have some experience with this and save me a lot of time.
If anyone has done this before and can point me in the direction of some documentation, I would appreciate it. Thanks, John From: "Rick Kingslan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Desktop Configuration via a Group Policy Object Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2002 08:30:11 -0500 Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I don't believe that either of these actions are delivered via GPO templates. It is, however, possible to add your own settings to the templates (requires knowing what the settings would be and what registry keys affect them). There is one HUGE downside to doing this, however. This type of setting is applied directly to the reegistry - not to the 'purged' key sets that are created for GPO. IOW, this reverts to a NT 4.0 policy like behavior in which the registry is permanently changed - unless you go back and more or less manually change it. If you want more info on how to do this (generically - I'm not going to hunt down the keys to solve this one issue) I can provide guidance on how to create entries to the ADM files to create these 'tatoos' of the registry.
