A) Using GPO (custom ADM file )

B) Using Script (eg VBScript)

I say: scripts

I totally agree, but colleagues were saying gpo is the best. :shock:

Why scritp is best?

I never tried the other unsupported thing in a production environment. I guess I'm thinking there's a reason why MS doesn't recommend this approach.

Ask your colleagues: why not use the same procedure as most people out there, it's safe and flexible... :lol: [/b]

They said the script is very slow. So the gpo is faster than script. :x

Yes, I did see the link, and I'm not impressed. I've know the trick for a while but don't want to use it in production.

I wouldn't recommend using GPOs for this until a built-in feature allows us to. And scripts are not slow - that's simply not true, the code can be crap, but scripts are pretty fast (once the GP engine has loaded them).

End if story 8)
