Locking down windows with group policy

How about reconfiguring the 10 PCs for a new Domain while preserving user settings, etc.?

Vista Answer: Use Windows Easy Transfer Wizard

 

XP or 2000pro Answer: Use File and Settings Transfer Wizard

 

SBS Answer: Presuming that each of these computers is used by a different (currently local) user account, when you join the domain using

http://server/connectcomputer, you can migrate the user's local profile to the domain. You must always use the wizards in SBS - you set up your users,

your computer accounts that way (on the server) and join the computers to

the domain using the /connectcomputer one.

 

Alternate Answer: Roaming Profiles

1. Set up a share on the server. For example - d:\profiles, shared as

profiles$ to make it hidden from browsing. Make sure this share is not set

to allow offline files/caching.

 

2. Make sure the share permissions on profiles$ indicate everyone=full

control. Set the NTFS security to administrators, system, and users=full

control.

 

3. In the users' ADUC properties, specify \\server\profiles$\%username% in

the profiles field

 

4. Have each user log into the domain once to their usual workstation and log out. The profile is now roaming.

 

5. If you want the administrators group to automatically have permissions to

the profiles folders, you'll need to make the appropriate change in group

policy. Look in computer configuration/administrative templates/system/user

profiles - there's an option to add administrators group to the roaming

profiles permissions. Do this before the users' roaming profile folders

are created.
