Apply Group Policy to Windows 2000 PCs in Workgroup

Hi,

We have a couple of hundred Windows 2000 Professional PCs scattered accross our estate.  They are not on a domain (i.e.: they are in workgroups) so we can't use Domain Group Policy.  We want to reset the settings in Internet Explorer to point to a new Proxy Server, set a new home page etc...  This is not a problem and we have written the appropriate script for this which works HOWEVER we are having trouble applying it to all user profiles on the PCs.

i.e.: if we where to do it manually we would log on to the PC, open gpedit.msc > user config > windows settings > Internet Explorer Maintenance > Connection > Connection Settings and switch the button from 'Do not customize' to 'Import the current connecion settings'.

This is the bit we are having trouble doing manually...  I am looking for fresh ideas so how would you do it...?Start Free Trial
