Re: User-Specific Group Policy

I would like to setup a group policy on SBS2003 for one, maybe two users.
This group policy limits their desktop + disables options like screen savers,
control panel, etc.

However, I'd like to keep the rest of the current Domain Policy as is for
them so the only changes are as I mentioned the desktop, or the screensaver,
etc..but only for these select uers.

And of course not affect anyone else on the domain. Please advise the best
way to go about this, and if you can write a little step-by-step guide I'd
really appreciate it.

You should be able to create a Windows Security Group and use GPO
Security Filtering to accomplish this. These links point to posts
covering similar issues, with instructions:
