Configuring Screen Resolution from group policy in windows 2003 Server

Although there is not a group policy setting which would allow you to set a
specific setting for the screen resolution for users (this could be an
accidental disaster if set to one the hardware doesn't support), it is
possible to prevent users from altering a predefined screen resolution via
group policy.
In a group policy which linked to a container the user objects reside in,
and where the users have permissions to that group policy, edit the policy
and go to:

User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Control Panel->Display.

darn I can be long winded... good luck!

OK, I am in the process of reading Deadlight's very detailed reply.

But I believe I failed to mention some factors that may change your minds about not attempting this.

First, we have a security device that when the system is rebooted reverts all settings back to the previous ones specified by me.  You can even format C:  and it when rebooted comes right back up just fine.

Second, the user I am attempting this with has poor eyesight and requires a screen resolution of 800x600.  Most CRT's & LCD's I have found will work just fine with that resolution.

I would rather attempt a policy setting for that user account rather than have that student sit at a specific computer every class.

Hope this makes sense and clears up any concerns.

Thanks again.

Also, I require only a specific user not for everyone that logs onto a PC.  And I am unsure what PC's this user may be using, so I would like to blanket it all with the user's account rather than specific computers.

Thanks again.
