Well, I'm guessing you want to change the user account settings as opposed
to the computer settings? When you set the policy on the computer, you're
setting if the computer will allow a roaming user's profile to be downloaded
to that specific computer or not, and I'm sensing you wish the users to no
longer use roaming profiles? In that case, you need to modify the user
properties, and that's a BIG chapter! :-)
Basically, my advice would be: if you need to work with a huge amount of
users, use the command ldifde to export a list of the users, create a
'modify file' based on the export file, and then import it back to AD. If
you're working with only a few users, you can actually modify several users
properties at once in 'Active Directory Users and Computers': select a bunch
of users, right click and choose properties, click the profile tab and make
sure the user profile field i empty - yhat SHOULD do it.
To learn how to use 'ldifde', I would recommend a good site for a bunch of
AD tasks (and scripting as well: www.computerperformance.co.uk, and for
ldifde specifically:
