With a W2K server using ADS & Group Policy, can the administrator control a W9X workstaion upon login to the network things such as login scripts, color schemes, "hiding" the control panel, "hiding" network neighborhood, taking away right click functionality, etc.
Thanks,
Brian

hey
as far as i know AD group policy objects can only work on win2k clients. it may be possible to install some sort of gpoclient, or 3rd party utility to facilitate AD gpo's on 9x clients, but none that i know of

No, you cannot use Active Directory and group policies to accomplish this.

You should instead use the system policy editor (POLEDIT.EXE) which was supplied with Windows 9x. The resulting config.pol should be saved in the netlogon directory on oneof the domain controllers. The also goes for NT 4.0 Workstations.
