Set Windows default sound scheme using GPO
We have 50 Windows 7 client computers in an AD OU for which we need to change the Windows Default Sound Scheme to None
.
How can this be accomplished using Group Policy?
For domain function level before 2012 go to User > Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization
then there is a setting Prevent Changing Sounds.
If you rolled out the desktops without the theme set in advance (as default) then I would use the above GPO in conjunction with enabling the "Load a specific theme" setting (also in the Control Panel > Personalization node of Group Policy). Just make a theme that you want for all users to use then save it somewhere all users will have access to and then put in the UNC under that object.
User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry
Set the following registry key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes
Value: (Default)
Data: .None
