samba - Aug 2004 - Slightly OT - WinXP client management under Mac OS X samba

Hi all, first post, and slightly off-topic...

I've setup a Mac OS X Server 10.3.5 network running samba for WinXP 
client logins. I have the logins working properly, hitting the right 
homedirs and getting folder redirection via a login script in 
/etc/netlogon/. Now, the main question I have is how to manage the 
clients once they've logged in. I made a few changes using the group 
policy editor on a local machine to change the login window settings 
(caching last logins, welcome message, etc.) but I'm not a windows guy, 
and I'd like to find a good tutorial on how to limit apps, control 
panels, etc...

Any help is appreciated...

Regards,

Dave

Perhaps one of the HOWTOs we are in need of is a "Windows Administration 
for Linux users" guide. Is it already out there?  Good question. I've 
not heard of it if it is out there.

David, I for one, would like to know the trick you used to change the 
welcome message. :-)
