I am the sole administrator of about 20 computers, some are old but most are new. They are all running Win 2000 Pro. The server is 2000 server. I am very interested in making all the computers look and feel exactly the same, and eliminating the needfor doing detailed configuration on each machine. In particular, I want to:
Make all Start Menus look the same
Make drive mapping the same (with exception of the user’s personal folder)
Make Network Places look the same
Make power management settings the same
Move the Documents and Settings folder (or as much as possible) to the server.
I don’t even mind micromanaging the computers that much, but I’d really like to be able to do it via the server. (I just hate kicking people off their computer in the middle of their work.) I’d really appreciate tips and hints from other Admins who strive for efficiency.
