Summary

In this chapter we covered some of the more common post-deployment issues that come after the operating system has been installed. These issues involve setting the local time, configuring an authoritative time source for the Win32Time service, and enabling or disabling local user accounts. We also looked at the steps involved in creating both local users and local groups. Next, we turned to setting screen saver settings on remote computers. Finally, we looked at renaming the computer and rebooting a local or remote computer. Along the way, we discovered some undocumented settings, switches, and statements.
