Re: Group Policy By User

Why do you want to rename the domain? There are tools and KB's for it but if
you have a complex AD infrastructure I would be carefull with renaming the
domain.

Hello Grant,

OU means Organizational Unit in Active Directory, only to an OU you
can
link a GPO, Group Policy Object.
An OU is for example the Domain controller "folder" in the Active
directory structure. The Computers "folder" is a Container. On this
container it is not possible to link a GPO.

Hello Grant,

If you still will do it create an OU and move the normal users to
it, then configure your GPO and link it to the OU, so it will only
effect this OU nothing else.

But think really about an additional server.

I am running a server with Windows Server 2003 Standard. I have
Active Directory setup as well as Terminal Services. I have 5
users who will be logging in through Terminal Services and I would
like to limit what they can do. I know that this can be done with
Group Policy but how can I set it up so that I can still log in
through Terminal Services without having the restrictions applied
to me?

Thanks for the responses!

I am only using the server for Terminal Services and email. If
there is a way that I can configure the server without Active
Directory and still set policies for all the accounts but one, let
me know. I'm open to ideas. I would really prefer not to buy
another server. I've already forked out a lot for licenses and
since I'm only using it for two things, would prefer not to buy
more.

Regarding the solution you posted, what do you mean by OU? I assume
GPO means Group Policy, correct?

Thanks! That's just what I need. Do you know if there is a way to
rename the domain name once you have created it in AD? Or do I have
to uninstall or reinstall?
