AD Default Domain Policy setting problem

by greyit . Updated 16 years ago

I have a problem with a domain policy pushing 2 desktop shortcut icons and a few quickmenu shortcuts to the users’ desktop. My predecessor set it up, and I can’t find where the setting is.

I have narrowed the issue to the default domain policy; if I break inheritance, the shortcuts only show up when I link the default domain policy to the OU. I would say this clearly identifies that policy as the culprit.

The problem is that when I check the default domain policy, I can find NO mention of any setting pushing desktop shortcuts.
Active Desktop settings are not used, and no login/logout/startup/shutdown scripts are used.

As those icons are no longer relevant, this is getting extremely annoying. I’m resorting to a login script to delete them each and every time, but that’s an ugly hack that I would really prefer to solve properly.

Does anyone know what I might be overlooking ?

Oh, fyi, it’s a windows server 2003 with SP2 installed.
