Profile Registry Help

[pritchardavid]

Hi There

 

Ok I have made a New Mandatory Profile

 

Things I done on this profile

 

- Setup a new user called 'user' and do policys enabled

- Configured Internet Explorer

- Configured Windows Media Player

- Configured the taskbar

- Configured the start menu

- Set a desktop background

- Delete all the favorites

- Hide the navigation menu

- Set a screensaver

- Lanched Office 2010 up so I could get rid of the microsoft update box that come up

 

I then used the windows enabler program to copy the profile, and the loaded the ntuser hive into the registry and then I have done a search for the username for settings tied to the actuall username

 

 

Can you give me some help to tell me what to do with all these settings please

Can I change the link back to this? To I need to have it in jpg?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ntuser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

 

 

Gussing on the shell folders I'll have to do the same onto the user shell files?

 

Gussing change the location to the drive letter we have mapped for the students then of course what ever folder?

 

This way we shouldnt have to redirect anything through a gpo right?

 

Is there any need to redirect appdata would you say, or is it fine using the defaut appdata that on the computer already?

 

 

 

Many thanks in advance!

 

Hopefully this will sort out our serif webplus!

 

 

 

edit ok one more thing I would like to know

 

Im gussing when you set a gpo for student restrictions it changes the registry of the user logged in. Now is there any way that we could find out all the registrys keys and values, that get set from our restrictions gpo. If I could find out this, i could import them into the registry hive of the profile. To me it just seems pointness that evertime a user logs on it has to make all these changes everytime. But If it was built into the profile already, its doesnt need to do anything and may speed up logons a bit quicker has well. Thats if you understood what I just meant

Applying policies doesn't really take that long, and a GPO will be much more manageable. So while it doesn't hurt to have those settings in the mandatory profile (esp. if your users are good at bypassing group policy by yanking the network cable) you should still apply them in group policy.
