We used to use our logon script to make a lot of changes like you are describing. Now, we mostly use GPOs and SMS. We do lock down the proxy settings and some control panel applets with a GPO. We can push out a corporate background with SMS. However, we don't worry too much about the backgrounds, colors, and screensavers. It is very hard to fix those things so the users can't change them and, IMO, not really worth the effort.

In its simplest form, I'm thinking I create a new default user profile for all computers which has our corporate backgrounds/screensavers/intranet shortcuts etc etc, backup their old profiles for them so they can restored favorites and any docs stored where they shouldn't be (i.e. desktop/my documents) and then delete them forcing them to take our new default profile, then using group policy, remove their ability to change backgrounds/screensavers/proxy settings Some guidance as to how others do this would be great Nik ------ You are subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
