I have applied a couple of group policies for an OU to lock down the desktop (eg, remove My Network Places and Proxy Settings). These work correctly for the users in that OU.
I have created a mandatory profile (as in Q323368) and assigned selected users a mandatory profile (within User Policy in AD) for some desktop shortcuts. The mandatory policy for shortcuts works but the group policy is not applied to those users, but is for the rest of the users in the OU.
I remove the mandatory profile from the user settings and the group policy works again.
It appears as though group policy does not work if a mandatory profile is used. Is this correct behaviour or is there any way that both settings can be applied?
I am setting these options on Windows 2000 Server for Windows 2000 Professional desktops.
Has anyone else experienced this situation?
Any help much appreciated.
