We are running TS on MS 2003 server, The problem that im having is creatings
settings so that all users when logging onto TS will set automatically....

-- I would like to set the cursor width and screensaver time, but would i
have to set this individually. I looked for a settings in gpo but could not
find... im pretty new to the MS server realm so any help would be appreciated
 
Re: Setting individual User settings for TS

The recommended way to do this is by modifying the Default User
profile on the server. This profile is used as the template for
each new user, when they logon for the first time to the TS.

For users who already have an existing TS profile, modifying the
Default User profile on the server won't help. For settings which
don't have a GPO entry, you'll have to find the registry key which
defines the setting and import it into the user profile on logon.

Screensaver on a TS should be disabled (it is by default), use the
screen saver on the clients instead. There's a GPO setting for
screen savers.

Re: Setting individual User settings for TS

Vera is right about the default profile, Microsoft published thsi in KB
325364, you can see the article here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325364

As for the screensaver, there is actually a policy setting for screensavers,
we have used them on our TS's, in the policy browse to User Configuration /
Administrative Templates / Control Panel / Display.... from there you can
adjust Screen Saver, Screen saver timeout and the password protect option.

hope this helps
