Windows 2003 Server Problems & Questions

[dannaswolcott]

Am having issues with computers logging in to the domain. They log in very slow. Once they log in, the computers and network is really fast. How can i speed up the login? Also, I give each of my users an network folder to store files in, How can i make it so that when they log in, It will auto show there network folder in my computer? And one last thing, I want to set a default desktop pic for a user. So on every computer they log on to, it has the same desktop background. any way of doing that? Thanks in advance

odd, when i was still using domains i has slowness, but that was just my Lan operating at 100 which i find normal,..maybe am wrong

How can i make it so that when they log in, It will auto show there network folder in my computer?

You have to map the share folder, right-click my computer, then go to Map Network drive, browse for the folder, and make sure you have the desired username/password, to use that folder

And one last thing, I want to set a default desktop pic for a user. So on every computer they log on to, it has the same desktop background. any way of doing that?

you yourself have to set that picture first, then open group policy and go to user configuration-->administrative templates -->control panel-->display, and make sure Prevent changing wallpaper is enabled

hope it helps mate
