Very good suggestion Oman, thanks man!
I also found a script by the scripting guys
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/feb05/hey0214.mspx
So far in testing this script method seems to be working fine in addition to
the GPO we already have set.
I'm going to send this out to a pilot group and if that goes well the rest
of the users.
Thanks
Mike
