Hi,
What's the pratice to set default programs for users across a *farm* ?
It turns out that those settings are part of %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat which is, as you guessed, local ;-) and not part of the roaming profile nor redirected folders.
I don't want users having to set their, say, default browser or email software or whatever on every single server of the farm they will be redirected to by the broker.
I've tried to track those registry settings (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes) and then set them through GPP, w/o success. Maybe I missed one or more keys elsewhere ? (Note that fortunately, someone did a good job by providing a reg-to-xml online tool (http://colonelpanic.zzl.org/reg2gpp/)).So, I just can't set, say Firefox, as default browser through GPP.
So I'm maybe misleaded and there's another way ?
(note that a turnarround for Firefox is to run "start firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" at a login script) but this is then not a "preference" but an enforcement. And there's no equivalent for Thunderbird AFAIK).
