Default Internet Home Page

Using Windows Server 2008 and the clients all on Windows 7 Pro - is there a Group Policy setting I can use to control the desktop and Internet Home Page of all the clients or user profiles? We would like to use the school logo as the desktop background and the school weg site for the Internet home page. How can I accomplish this.

Thank you!

Robert

To do this you can set the following option as a user configuration GPO.

User Config | Windows Settings | Internet Explorer Maintenance |URLs | Important URLs | Home page URL: http://yourwebpage

Will any of this work with Firefox or Google Chrome?
To be honest, since you didn't mention anything about the "trendy" web browsers within your original text you are branching off into a different (but related) area and that may require an entirely separate question.

I know that Firefox and Chrome have attempted to integrate Group Policy support in the past, but while we do allow Firefox on our various domains we don't attempt any GPO configurations.
I don't know that the GP results will work with the other browsers. If using group policy, think Microsoft products only (as a rule of thumb)
OK, I will post that part of that issue on a different thread.
