I have many identical PC's with the same Vid Card and Monitors, I want
to change the video resolutions for all of these units. The res. has
been tested and works on these units. I'm looking for something I can
push to the PC's. Can you help?
 
Howdie!

Click to expand...

The problem is, that the registry setting for the resolution key is
located at:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Hardware
Profiles\current\system\currentcontrolset\control\video\<GUID graphics
card>\0000
which means that you need to know the GUID of your display adapters. If
all those units have the same hardware and configuration, you simply
need to write a script or (much better ;-) a custom ADM template to push
out the settings via Group Policy.

IF you have different hardware out there, you will first have to script
out which GUID each workstation has, before altering the regkey. That
would mean that a custom ADM template is out of play..

cheers,

Florian
