If I read your post correct your asking for 3 things, and I'm guessing this is a home lab based on your other posts.

1. automate user account creation

2. software deployment

3. RM.

If those are not correct please clarify.

 

The short answer is no there is no free software I'm aware of that does it all.

First the search function is your friend, many of these topics have already been discussed, but sometimes the trick is knowing what to search for.

 

You can automate user account creation with powershell, or there is an account spreadsheet from wisesoft.

 

Software deployment has many options,

built into windows you can use group policy to install programs.

PDQ deploy is a great free option.

do a search you will find a lot of suggestions.

 

RM, I've never used so cannot say anything about it, but fairly certain it isn't free, what are you trying to accomplish with the log in box?

Hello im just trying to get 3 computers online for my family but on a network so its easy to do.

 

so if someone wants to login to 1 pc then i don't need to re-install everything on the other pc.

also i want to limit programs websites C drive

 

i also have a powerful pc that i want my kids to use but it to be limited so they cannot mess me own pc up

 

the login page is because at the moment you have to press CRTL ALT and del and my kids don't know how to do this yet

 

the other thing is i want to add movies ect onto the server so if the kids want to watch something on the computer they can i know you can share files but then it becomes a mess around really and if 1 pc with everything on is turned off your not getting access ect

 

yes its a mad way to do things but in common scene its a way to put security in place.

 

soon im going to set it up so i have more power so i can remote turn off or on the pc and block programs ect.

 

lol and really i don't want to be messing around if they ever got a virus or have deleted a file of the c drive and i need to re-program everything

you can disable the CTRL+ALT+DEL key press by using the following group policy setting: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms814164.aspx

 

edit: the location of the setting is that same as the link above, but I think it is called "Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL" instead

For that setup, I'd skip the whole domain setup and do it all by hand. What version are the clients, home / pro?

To really block things on a domain you would need at least pro but preferably enterprise / education so you can use applocker. I think what you are doing is overkill.

If you want to use a domain there is a group policy to control weather ctl+alt+del is required. However if you are not on a domain, that isn't an issue.

 

1. make them a standard user account, not admin, that will go a long way to reduce any damage virus or otherwise.

2. if you are using Microsoft accounts there is the whole family safety thing that allows you to control apps / websites. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12413/microsoft-account-what-is-family

Plus this will allow them to log onto each pc without a domain setup.

3. to keep apps updated at home I like patch my pc, there is also ninite.

4. for the media files just setup emby, it gives a nice netflix style interface, and can be setup with accounts to restrict by content rating etc.

I use both patchmypc and emby at home myself, the whole domain is overkill for so few devices.
