Group Policy

Hello everyone! I am running Server 2008 Enterprise and so far all seems to
be running well. At this point with my server, I would like to control a few
of the settings with my XP clients. At logon, I would like my XP clients to
point to a certain website and I would like to hide a few settings.

Is that done through group policy? I started to play with the Group Policy
preference, which seems to be a new feature of Server '08. However, with the
changes I have made, I do not see them with the client.

Am I missing something?

Thank you.

Hello John,

Yes, you can configure GPO for IE startpage and also hide some settings.
On the client machine, which must be located in the OU where the GPO is linked
to, NOT the computers CONTAINER, run gpupdate /force and then check with
gpresult /v or rsop.msc in a command prompt if the GPO is applied. I suggest
that you not change both default policies, on domain level and domain controllers
OU.
