Desktop icon size specified via Active Directory

Does anyone know how to set the icon size preference for desktop shortcuts in Windows 7 Pro Enterprise (KMS) via Active Directory.

I’m able to create shortcuts via AD with no problem but the icons default to the standard “Large” setting – I need to be able to set this via Active Directory rather than local machine policy so that I can centrally manage user desktop appearance….

Anyone know how to do this?

Yours,

Andy
