Hi,

We have a Windows 2000 AD environment with about 50 Windows XP pc Clients
connected.

I would like to achieve using Active Directory Group Policy to deploy on all
users desktops a URL Icon pointing to the internal intranet web site.

Can anyone suggest a way of doing this?

Thanks in advance

Ross

Dont know if 2k has the node GPO\User Configuration\Windows
Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenance\URLs where you can save your resource
in their favourites

Maybe have to save the shortcut in the user folders, e.g.Default User, All
users

You could do something like this in the logon script:

if not exist "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop\homepage.url" copy
"\\server\source\homepage.url" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop"

Here's an exact copy of a section of my logon script in which I copy the URL
to Office Update to the allusers start menu:

REM Copy Office Update icon to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office Tools
if not exist "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office
Tools\Office Update.url" copy "\\achouston\WKSUPD\Office Update.url"
"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office Tools"
