There are two parts to this answer, the first part explains why you don't want to do this, the second part show how you could accomplish what you are trying to.
Part 1:
For very good reasons this group policy doesn't exist (see above) I'm also pretty sure that Windows is programmed to be able to modify resolutions whenever it wants to (if it detects a problem) The group policy works, if windows wants to do something group policy says not to- that just quits working and if this were the display it would mean the computer. The current settings for the display are in the registry for boot up at hkey_users/.default/contro
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Wi
What I'm saying is that the huge numbers that look like product id's identify the devices and the registry settings and they are unique for each graphics card.. Windows sets these settings when you choose a resolution so they can't be dictated by group policy, unless you want to find out the identifiers for every type of graphic card you have and then create adm entries and then set them for each and every type of card (YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.. I'M JUST SHOWING YOU HOW INSANE AND MORE TIME CONSUMING IT WOULD BE TO DO IT THIS WAY.) Microsoft has made it this way by design.
Part 2: If you really want to do this, read on...
You're going to have to find a program that sets the resolution and then deploy it to the machines. I would recommend using visual basic (I'm not going to put code here to do that as it goes beyound the scope of this question) Here are links to articles with sample code that could be used.. http://www.google.com/sear

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:
