How to control certain settings for a user on a win 2003 server?
I have a win 2003 server with about 40 users. I would like to do the following:
1. Create a group called 'Staff' and put 5 users in the group
2. Make it so that when any of the users login to a computer, a path to a network drive is given a drive letter and shows up on their desktop or in the 'my computer' area.
3. Make it so that the desktop background image defaults to a company logo.
4. The destop theme defaults to windows classic and that under 'System|Advanced|Performan
Any ideas on how to start this?? Thanks in advance!

1.to sort out the mapped drive use a login script , put the 5 user in a group and use the %if member%
the rest I would do using a group policy on the OU or group in the containing the 5 user in the group
