changing settings to affect all users

I am a Technology Specialist at a school district, and we have 16 macbook laptops and 4 macbook pro laptops. These laptops have 3 standalone accounts on them: Student, Teacher, and administrator. However, if you go to the login prompt with name and password, students and teachers can log into their Windows network accounts. When this happens, however, it gives them more freedom on the macs. Is there a way to set security settings for user accounts/user groups that haven't logged onto a computer yet?

Also, is there a way to set Connected Servers to show up on the desktop for all users? I go in as admin, and set it to show on desktop, but it only shows on the admin desktop, no one elses. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm semi-new to mac. Thanks!

The setting is in Windows Domain Active directory. Did you bind the Macs to the Active Directory server the windows (what version of server)?

What version of OS X is on the Macs? I ask because binding them to Active directory is different in different versions of OS X.
