How do one write a login script to add a shortcut on
desktop for a group of users.

Add this line to your existing script:

xcopy /d /y \\YourServer\Netlogon\SomeApp.lnk
%AllUsersProfile%\desktop > nul
(unwrap line)

Add this line to your existing script:

xcopy /d /y \\YourServer\Netlogon\SomeApp.lnk
%AllUsersProfile%\desktop > nul
(unwrap line)

Note, this may require local admin access. The shortcut could be added
to the user's personal desktop with a slight modification:

xcopy /d /y \\YourServer\Netlogon\SomeApp.lnk "%UserProfile%\desktop" >
nul

Hi

Note that when copying a common link file from a share, you need to
watch out for distributed link tracking that follows the file.
Use e.g. Scut.exe to make them non-tracking before copying the file
out to different computers.

Download link for Scut.exe found at bottom of this post:

Alternatively, create the shortcut on the fly with vbscript or
a command line tool, more about this here:
