Hello,

I need to put a shortcut on all of the desktops in the organization. I
would like to use a policy to do this however I dont want to redirect the
desktop. Does anyone have any Ideas? Windows 2003 domain.

Thanks

Startup Scripts - either Computer or User depending on your need. You can
either use the script to copy a shortcut from a network location or use
VBScript and the WSH to create a shortcut.

Other alternative is to create an MSI package which containts your
shortcut(s).
 
I will personally go for alternative is to create an MSI package which
contains your
shortcut(s). Its easy to rollback.
 
That's the way I do it, but I place the shortcut to be copied in the same
folder as the script. I then reference it using %~dp0 )which evaluates to
the current directory). That way, you're not reliant on a single server
being available for the script to run properly.

Cheers

Oli
