im frustrated. How do i set up a default user for all
the students in my school environment? I want them all
to have the same basic settings (ie printers,
software...) but be able to log in with different user
names. Group policy hasnt done the job, unless im not
doing something right. I assume it has to do with a
default profile, but when ive tried copying a profile
into the systemroot it doesnt want to stick for new log
ins. HELP!!!!!!

Printers can be mapped with a login script within a Group Policy.

Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\PrintServer1\Xerox300"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter \\PrintServer1\Xerox300

The link below contians a file with all registry based policy settings you
can do within a Group Policy:

Understanding Group Policy paper aren't wrong to have a look at:

Also Group Policy best practices have help me much.

Hope some thing helps and you get a image of what Group Policy can do to fit
your needs. Have a nice day!
