Your suggestion is very cool (net.exe)..... how do i apply this script?...I
saved it as a bat file, created a GPO and applied it to top level domain...
but it didnt work....
Please bear with me, i never used GPO policy.... i looked at the policy
using GPMC which is very cool too... it seems to be applied correctly .. I
applied it to Domain computers... That would cover all machines correct?

thank you... 
Hi,

You will need to link the GPO to the container or OU where your
computers are placed (in AD, they are default placed in the
container "Computers")
