Neil, I will be saving this one because I think it'll be important in the future. However, what I was really talking about was the ActiveX control that the TSWEB web page wants the user to install on their computer to allow the Connect button to work. I was trying to see if there was a GPO way of installing it without myself or my assistant having to go around to all the PC's and install it under Administrator. Perhaps there's an MSI version of said application that I might be able to assign?

For terminal server users I pre-empt this (my terminal server users, all use mandatory profiles, and a very restrictive desktop). The ActiveX control I need to deploy, is part of a LOB application. It's digitally signed, so what I do (as I use mandatory profiles) is pre-create the certificate in the users registry (write a value to the registry in the login script). I've also, pre-loaded the ActiveX control on the terminal server, and pointed the paths in HKCR to generic paths that will actually be in the users home directories. (to set this up, you need to alter ActiveX cache paths in the registry, before you run the ActiveX control as a user with admin rights, so the HKCR stuff can get created (a normal user wouldn't be able to do this)) As part of the login script, I copy the ActiveX control files, to this generic path under the users home directory. The upshot is, user cannot download and install any ActiveX control, but I pre-empt the business one I want them to use - so when they access it, it's already there.
