Re: Default Display Setting using Group Policy

Does this mean it cannot be done using Group Policy??

Get Multires from:

and make a batch file screenres.bat with the command
multires.exe /1:800,600,32,75

Set the windows classic theme on one of the box. Export the registry keys

HKCU\Control Panel\Appearance\

and

HKCU\Control Panel\Colors\

Create a logon script to import the registry entries and run the
screen.res.bat file.

I have an application that I am running on all the PC in my network that
needs to have the display appearance set to "Windows Classic" with a
screen
resolution of 1280X1024. I would like to push these settings out using a
group policy to every PC. Is these a way to do that??

Is this an app that you run on other PC's, or a company app that everyone is
using?
There may be a way to do it, but you are going to tick off a lot of people,
I bet. Unless everyone you're planning on doing this to has the same
hardware (like video card and monitor) as you, there may be problems. If
anyone there has not-so good vision (like me), they will probably be upset
that their once easily readable font has suddenly shrunk. I know I would
have been had it happened to me. As the network admin, I was given the
leftovers from the engineering department, which meant when they all got
these new Dells with 21" inch high resolution LCD's, I got the old HP
workstation with the 17" CRT (happens quite often in small companies).
Plenty of power to do what I needed to do, but needless to say, 1280x1024
was not a pleasant option on it, especially since at that resolution, the
max refresh rate that could be set was 60Hz. Gotta love that 60 cycle
pulsing!

I do understand that I am going to have a great number of users complaining
however, the application vendor has stated this is the lowest resolution the
application screen will display properly and completely. I have certain
departments that will need these settings forced, not Everyone in the whole
company. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I know how to set this
per user using group policy but I want to set it by PC.

Janet : can you say what the application is as there may be a
workround ?


I can say the application... It is a Clinical Documentation application
within Meditech.
