Group Policy for Users

I need to edit a group policy for three certain users, but NOT the computers. I know how to change the policy for the certain computer, but there seems to be no way of changing policy for users only. How do I do this?

You would have to create an OU for those users and than apply the custom GP.

Could you put that into Idiot-Speak please? I'm still learning about networking and the server environment

Sure. You will have to create a new Oraganizational Unit in AD Users and Computers, than you would move the user accounts into that OU. Create add or create a group policy to that OU, make sure that the default GP is applied to that OU as well unless the two adversly & directly affect eachother.

Nice. A coupld of things though:

• I only want the users to be able to access Microsoft Office programs and Internet Explorer through the start menu - how would I get this?
• I would like to force every user on the domain to use a certain wallpaper - is there any way of doing that?

Thanks for the help - I am very appreciative.

Both of those can be easily achieved via GP. You should take a look at each of the options. If you can't find them, let me know.

I have managed to customise the start menu but not the wallpaper :S

If you have Windows Server 2003, you should look into installing the Group Policy Management snapin. It's very powerful and easy to used.

For the wallpaper: User Config | Admin Templates | Desktop | Active Desktop. You will find with certain things you will have to create a registry script and have it applied to the computer each time it gets logged on which you can do through the GP.
