Lab #5 Steps - wAlber47/Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki

  1. Open up Active Directory Users and Computers. First thing to do is to create an OU for 'Accounts', 'Computers', and 'Groups' under our domain name. Make sure that these new OU's have icons within the folder icon.
  2. Next, create three users. For the purpose of this lab, they will be called 'alice', 'bob', and 'charlie'.
  3. Create and add these users to the 'Accounts' OU.
  4. Then drag, WKS01 to your 'Computers' OU.
  5. Within the 'Groups' OU, add a global security group called 'custom-desktop' with users 'alice', and 'bob' as members.
  6. Now, let’s create a group policy that defines some User level settings. Open 'Group Policy Management' through the Tools tab of Active Directory.
  7. In order to set a User policy, you have to create a new group policy object. Let's call this one SYS255-desktop. It's purpose is to change the wallpaper of a computer or user. Once created, right click on the group policy and select Edit, follow the steps under Lab Help.
  8. Check to make sure your policy is set by logging into either 'alice' or 'bob' and running the command gpresult /r.
  9. Now that the wallpaper is changed, the next step is to disable the show last login option to provide more security.
