power schema
Hope to find an awswer soon. I manage a small group of 500 Dell computers in
a single domain enviroment. I was wondering is there a way to set the default power schema to always on. Even though I set the setting to power on as an admin, the users setting seem to be going back to Desktop settings. I tried doing the run-as while the user is logged on, but still no luck. I do not want to give the users power rights. Could a registry entry be updated vis Group Policy? |

You have a couple of options....not mutually exclusive, either, as the first one does more than just the power stuff. **FOR NEW USERS GOING FORWARD** Create a new, local 'template user' on a workstation, put it in the local Admins group, and log into it. Tweak everything that you want to standardize but cannot (easily) control via group policy. This includes power settings, Windows Explorer folder display settings, etc. DO NOT add a mail profile, or anything that will be unique to any domain user - keep it nice and generic. Once you're done with this 'template' profile, log out - then log in as a domain admin (or any account that has permissions to write to \\DCname\netlogon). In control panel | system, copy the 'template' user profile you created to \\DCname\netlogon\Default User (with the proper capitalization & the space). Set "Allowed to use" to "Everyone" Then your new *domain* users will have these settings. **FOR EXISTING USERS** There's no easy or built in group policy setting for this, amazingly enough. But check out http://www.terranovum.com/projects/e...ar/ez_gpo.html for one possible option. Note for future reference that group policy questions are best asked in microsoft.public.windows.group.policy. |
