Questions[user-settings](server)

I have some clients who need to use a larger mouse curser. However, when they use the RemoteApps we published for them, the configuration is not staying in place.

I thought maybe if I created a GPO to force the configuration that would work. It does not. It works when you RDP into a desktop but not when using a RemoteApp.

The GPO changes the users' registry to the desired mouse settings, yet it is not sticking in RemoteApps.

Also, this is for any published RemoteApp, we publish Windows File Explorer for them and that also reverts the mouse configuration back to Windows' default

Is there so configuration setting somewhere to control how a mouse looks in a RemoteApp specifically or something like that?

We have decided that it is time to build a domain in our smallish office, and i have been tasked with the job. The Domain is setup, and we are in the process of creating usernames and passwords for users. Since the users all have existing machines (mostly laptops) and have been using them for some time now, when they join the domain, their settings are going to go "missing" for them... they wont be on their desktop, and their documents folder will be somewhere else...

What i am looking for is a quick and easy way of moving their documents, settings, desktops, etc, from their old login account, to their new domain based account... at minimum, this should be files in their "My Documents" folder and Desktop, but moving settings and mail for Outlook, Visual Studio, IE/FireFox/, etc, would be handy too.

I have read about the Microsoft User State Migration Tool, but unless i am reading wrong, it seems to be setup for moving from one machine to another, not from one account to another... Any ideas?

I can use crontab -e as a normal user to edit my user crontab. Does anacron have any similar feature for individual non-admin users, or does it only have a system-wide anacrontab?

I am adding a new Login with SQL Server Authentication. I set its Server Role as public and then went into User Mapping, selecting the only database this user should have access to. I then change the Default Schema to dbo and made this user the db_owner.

I then connect to the instance using the new user's credentials and I can see not only the database he should have access to but all the other attached databases.

How can I limit this user to just see the database he has access to?

Thanks in advance!
