Change initial "Power Options" for new user profiles.
Hello,
does anybody know a way to change the default Power Options (including Settings and Schemes), which are initially created for new user profiles under w2k prof.?
We want to configure our workstations in such a way that everytime a new user gets his profile after first logon in AD-Domain, there is just on Power Scheme with predefined settings existent and any other default Power Schemes (0-5) to be deleted. We don't want to do any further steps in configuring Power Options.
We just evaluated distribution with GPO (EZ_GPO) but this solution requires a little program to be started and distrubuted on every w2k client and also has a limitation on the dc settings.
Secondary we evaluated configuration with "powercfg.exe" (from w2003srv) and as third solution the configuration with a reg-file. Both solutions work, but have to be executed for each user after logon, with needed user-rights (they normally don't have!) to change those settings.
I also tried to set the default user settings under HKU\.Default\controlPanel\
So I try to find the fourth solution...... as mentioned above..

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
But just remember that will also change other settings for each user such as the look and feel of the account you are on...so be careful what you configure and that you will be ok with users having the same ...such as viewing hidden files.
