Re: environment variables for active directory

When I am in need to propagate settings on all or specified set of
computers/users within my domain I prefer using desktop management
tools. In the paticular case with setting URL, I create a rule with
Desktop Authority manager (http://www.scriptlogic.com/da) from
Scriptlogic that adds this setting for a specified OU container that
contains needed set of computers. Sometimes though I have the task to
exclude some users from being affected of this settings and get another
URL. That's what easily can be made there, because I use boolean
AND/OR/NOT operators and create a rule that exclude setting from being
evaluated for specified user or group.

I have two values that I would like to make available for all computers

running a script (I will if I need to), but isn't there a way to create a
value in AD so that it is available to every machine connecting to the
domain? I need that value available during logon, before any user profile
info is available (as the user hasn't logged on yet).
