W2K3 Server – Domain Controller, File Server
I am having trouble creating a shortcut on the desktops of a group’s users. I want to have a group that contains member users. When those users logon, I want them to have a shortcut to a shared folder on the server no matter what computer onto which they logon.
I have set up roaming profiles by changing the profile path of the users, created the group, added the users, creted a shortcut, made a simple script that contains this line:
copy “\\Server\Logon Scripts\Short Cut.lnk” “C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Desktop”,
and placed it in a shared folder, naming it script.vbs.
I was able to successfully create the shortcut with one user by changing the account’s profile logon script to point to the script on the server. The user was me as a Domain Admin, but I could not duplicate the success with other Domain Users. I believe that the permissions are correct, but I’m willing to triple check, if explicit advice regarding which permissions should be set is offered.
Is there a more elegant/simple way to create a shortcut on the desktop?
