Need help forcing sites to log into a specific DC in case of local DC failure

I think these are where I want to be but could use a little more explanation. . .

From Reine [81.144.223.140] - 7/19/05 9:09 AM

I have ....

- Set up a domain group policy.
- Set manadatory wallpaper to company wallpaper.
- Enabled Active Desktop.
- Set Home Page URL in Internet Explorer Maintenance to company intranet.

= DESIRED effect: Intranet overlaps company wallpaper on user desktop.

I want ....


= ACTUAL effect: Works perfectly on 2000 machines but not XP machines. Only get company wallpaper (and all other set policies) on XP machines but not intranet. It also doesn't matter whether it's SP1 or 2 on the XP machines.

I have run the RSoP on both the 2000 and XP machines and they are identiical. There is nothing "odd" or "unusual" in the event viewer. Classic Shell is NOT configured.

Anyone????  Apologies if this is longer than what is allowed but I am desperate.

Have you seen the Common Desktop Management Scenarios?: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/technologies/management/csws2003.mspx

There is a kiosk scenario in there.

From oldwinadmin [63.115.100.243] - 7/12/05 8:49 PM

I want a policy to lock an clean XP install down to be a  kiosk where the user can only see and run programs I specify. (Using Server 2003 and AD.)  (I cannot be the first person since WinNT4.0 to need this!)
