dubsdj Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I have a Majority Windows XP network but I have now added a Windows 7 PC into the Mix. Mostly after a bit of messing around with a few scripts it works just fine. The only thing that I can't seem to find a way around is that fact that Windows 7 defaults to an ugly windows Classic looking start bar.Group Policy says that users must have the Lunar theme in XP which I want , but how can I force the Aero looking start menu for windows 7 users when they are being told to use the Lunar one by Group Policy.I'm aware that specifiying lunar theme in group policy will make windows 7 look like windows 95 because the Lunar theme doesn't exist on Windows 7.But my question is that does anybody know of any way I can get around this problem? Reg hack .. whatever.Thanks
cluberti Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 How about WMI filtering so that policy doesn't apply to non-XP clients?

cluberti Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Right, so you filter it so it doesn't apply based on the detected OS during processing.
