ThinKiosk can be configured via the command line, the Registry and via Group Policy. Now unless you like to write lengthy registry manipulation scripts, configuring the settings via Group Policy is definitely the way to go.</p> <p>When clients are member of a domain we would of course use domain based group policy settings, but when not joined to a domain must use local Group Policy settings. In this blog post I describe in detail how to prepare and deploy a local GPO Pack. Note that the hereunder described process is not limited to the use of ThinKiosk but can be used for any local Group Policy configuration task for Windows ThinPC (Embedded 7), Windows 7 and Windows 8. (Note that for Windows 8 you’ll have to wait until SCM 3.0 comes out which is currently in beta).</p>
