push out shortcuts via group policy? 1

[tylerdurden68]

I have enabled DFS and want to push out a shortcut to the dfs shares location. Is there a way to put a shortcut on everyones desktop on the domain (win2k3 domain w/xp and 2k clients)via active directory and/or group policy? I tried to set it up via group policy in user config-->admin templates-->desktop/active desktop-->add/delete items. Didn't work.

Create and save a shortcut to the share somewhere centrally.

Then in your login script:

copy "\\server\share\shortcut.lnk" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop"

This will copy it in to the working copy of the users profile.
