Michael,   I was about to offer the same solution as James - it has worked for us!   themolk.

Use security filtering so that group only gets the policy. Remove the new users from the group after x days.   James   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Friday, 18 November 2005 12:29 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Internet Explorer Home Page Question   How about a logon script to take care of this? Check for a HKCU key/value. If it’s not there, assume it’s the first logon and set their homepage and then set the homepage.   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Micheal S.

We want this to happen automatically because we are usually creating new users with little notice, and very little time to make the account active. I’ve searched and searched all over existence for something related to this, and so far have only come up with some hacks to permanently set every user’s home page the same. We want users to be able to change this home page if they wish, without it resetting every time they log in to their machine. If they log into a new machine, we could also set the home page to the intranet, but this isn’t as necessary.   Has anyone even heard of doing anything like this? Is it even possible?   Thanks in advance, Micheal S. Mand Network Administrator Applied Research Associates, Inc. Email:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ara.com
