| | Vista + Aero + group policy Hi, for our pre Vista clients (mainly XP) we enforced by domain policy the "windows classic style" and set up a couple of things (background image, screen saver, ...). Now with Vista we want to enforce the Aero style with same settings (background,.. ). The problem is that the option to load a specific style in the group policy is a user setting and that one user can use different computers (means XP and Vista). Is there any chance to select different styles for different operating systems in group policy? Thanks in advance Jens |

Will this setting apply to computer objects in an OU??? In my opinion it will only apply to user objects, but maybe I'm wrong? Thanks Jens |
