GPO to place Users and Computers on admin desktops?

[Guest]

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to create a GPO that will place the
Users and Computers (for the domain not local) shoutcut on the desktops where
ever my admins log on. I already have an OU for the admins so I just need to
figure out the actualy policy to applies to it.

THanks,
Chris

You would need to script this. Check out the CreateShortcut method in the
WshShell object.

Or he could place the shortcut on a network share and have a login script
assigned to the OU containing the admin accounts that copies the shortcut
from the share to %userprofile%\desktop
I've done a similar thing for SOE icons that I want applied to all desktops,
except I have done it through a startup script that copies it to the AllUsers
location.
Use xcopy /D /Y /R to copy the files. That way only updated files or files
that don't exist on the destination are copied. If I want to roll out a new
icon, or update an existing one I just copy it to the network share that is
used as a source.
