In my organization we are currently going to be rolling out a bunch of Surface Pro 3 tablets and one thing that was required of us to set was have the desktop pop up at login instead of the start screen. Currently I have an entry in a task sequence that will run this command which successfully does what I specified but it does it only for the account that it's currently logged in with at the time (in this case the local admin account).
Once you log in with a domain account, I have to go in there manually and set it by right-clicking the Taskbar --> Properties --> Navigation.
What I would like to know is if there's another registry key I can modify to have this option set across the board or if there's another way to do this altogether (i.e., Group Policy). If Group Policy can do this on W2K8R2, please let me know so that I can test.

Good morning,
In my organization we are currently going to be rolling out a bunch of Surface Pro 3 tablets and one thing that was required of us to set was have the desktop pop up at login instead of the start screen. Currently I have an entry in a task sequence that will run this command which successfully does what I specified but it does it only for the account that it's currently logged in with at the time (in this case the local admin account).
Once you log in with a domain account, I have to go in there manually and set it by right-clicking the Taskbar --> Properties --> Navigation.
What I would like to know is if there's another registry key I can modify to have this option set across the board or if there's another way to do this altogether (i.e., Group Policy). If Group Policy can do this on W2K8R2, please let me know so that I can test.
Thanks in advance.
