I want to write a policy for setting map drives and home
folder for all of users in the domain and set a general
desktop for all,I think for map drives policy is better
maybe user profile is better for desktop setting because
for every new user I must do this but if I use of group
policy It affects all of domain.But I don't know what's
the adventage of user profile?
 
1. Mapping drives for users is best done trough logon scripts. Logon scripts
can be setup using group policy. See
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tr...ddocs/entserver/gptext_assignlogonscripts.asp
2. You should avoid changing domain policy, but instead organize your AD
resources in Organizational Units and then assign GPO on organizational unit
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/howitworks/management/grouppo
lwp.asp) in this way your settings will only affect users/computers inside
that organizational unit (and below trough inheritance).

I would suggest you to get a book on Windows Server 2000/2003 and study
group policies.

If your clients are Windows NT/2000/XP/2003, then set home folder in user
property in Active Directory Users and computers. It will be automatically
connected on login. If your clients are Win9x/Me, then add in their login
script
net use \\server\users\%username% /home
Of course Windows 9x/Me/NT clients can not use group policies.

Hello,So much thanks of your usefull information,
Is there any policy for hiding proxy server setting in IE-
 
There is a policy in User Configuration/Windows Settings/Internet Explorer
Maintenence/Connection/Proxy settings which alows you to lockdown your proxy
settings.

Hi,
I set proxy setting that you said but when users log on
the proxy address is empty!!
And I want to set proxy address for users and nest hide or
disable this for users,because I don't want users can
change thr address of proxy setting that I set.
Thak you.
 
Is this policy defined on the OU that holds user accounts ? Can you describe
how you serup this policy ? Are your other policies applying on your system
?

I don't have any OU's and proxy server(but I want to
install one later).Our ISP gives us an IP address for
using internet and I set this address in
IE->connection->lan setting->proxy address for all of
clients.Now I want to set this address and hide it
automatically for all of them via group policy that you
said to me,but unfortunately it doesn't work?
For setting this policy in default domain policy->edit-
user configuration->IE->connetion->proxy setting I set
Click to expand...
this address in proxy server and click use the same poxy
server for all addresses check mark.
I already set only a logon script policy for mapping
network drives In default domain policy .
 
It is not a great idea to change domain policy. Instead you must create an
OU hierarchy based on your organization structure, move User and computer
accounts there and create GPO's on OU's. Changing domain policy is a
dangerous thing to do if you are not 100% of what are you doing.
Do other policies apply on your users or it is just this policy that is not
working ? What Operating System is running on this clients ?

Hi,
Is it necessary to define OU?
Because we don't have seperate units and critical security.
By the way I defined an OU and move my users in it and
define new users in it.Then for this OU create a new group
policy and define a logon script for mapping network
drives but when my users logon,there aren't any map drives
in their "MY COMPUTER" ,what's wrong?
The clients OS is win2k pro.
 
It is general practice to create a OU and organize your user and computer
account hierarchically in OU's like

OU = Company
OU= Users
OU= Computers

this way, you don't mess with Domain Policy, which has a effect on the whole
domain. Creating GPO on OU only affects users and computers in that OU and
below. Sometimes it takes a while for policy to get applied (90 min is
default refresh interval on the clients). If your policy is not applying,
then you should start looking in other problems like DNS. Are all your
clients pointing their DNS settings to internal DNS server which is
responsible for your AD ? Run netdiag (from support tools)on your clients to
identify any network problems.

My site is written in Slovene and my nationality is Slovenian. Unless you
are one of 2+ mio people which can read our language (yes we are small), you
will have big problems in reading and understanding it :-))). I was thinking
of making it in English, but I just don't have time ;-)
