In Terminal Server/Citrix environments there are always applications that aren’t exactly mainstream. Usually they do not come with proper management tools. You of course want to manage them in a professional manner, preferably using Group Policy. In this article I’ll show you how to go about this. With the introduction of Group Policy in Windows 2000 Microsoft made a huge step forward in creating a better manageable platform. It took some getting used to but after a while using Group Policy to manage your (Terminal Server) environment became a best practice. Mainstream products like Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer all come with administrative templates that you can use with Group Policy to manage these applications. But what if you have an application that isn’t up there with Microsoft Office in terms of manageability? What if there’s no administrative template supplied by the vendor? Well, assuming the preferences / settings are stored in the registry, then you can create your own administrative template that you can use in Group Policy. Read the article here.
