lets say you have 2 servers running W2k and XP FR3.
A new app comes out. You install the app and want users to have it. The EXE's are in the Default user profile and the all users profile.

Problem, if you allready have 20 users with profiles, they will not get the Icons from the default user as that is only references on brand new users.

The all users (in my case) will not give them the apps as the GPO has User/admintemplates/ start menu, remove common programme groups and remove users folders enabled. This is to Prevent Admin tools Etc.... from propagating to everyone.

So how do you get the Exe's to the current users withou adding them manually??? Is it my GPO??
What are you guys doing?

Thanks
Matt
 
Why are the EXE's in the user profile folder?
 
They are in the startmenu program folders area of the default user profile.

I guess they are not EXE, but shortcuts to them.
 
Why not just configure CMC to put shortcuts on the desktop of the client?
