RE: [ActiveDir] Win XP SP2 Mandatory desktop

[Paul van Geldrop]

Jeff,   GPO would definitely be a good way to do this, disallowing any change to the desktop. You could also point the GPO to a specific desktop with folder redirection so your users would get a predefined desktop, allowing you to create different GPOs with different desktops. That way, user A could get a different desktop from user B, suiting their personal needs.. of course, you’d need to define the groups of users that need a certain desktop and assign the GPO to that group. What sort of input are you looking for, precisely ?   Paul.     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cothern Jeff D.
