Change/Force CMD properties like Window size & Screen Buffer size via GPO, or other ways

Question

Is it possible to control CMD properties like Window size & Screen Buffer size via GPO? (or a VBS script that can be pushed using GPO :)

I have Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008.

Many thanks for your advice.

The options are all stored in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console

You will most likely have a sub-key called "Command Prompt" that you want to store your information in. You should be able to script it from there.

Here is a reference to what all the values mean. It is for Windows 2000, but this section still applies to Win7/2008.
