GPO to deploy a shortcut to all users in a domain.

$

Hi.

I have a shortcut that I need deployed to all users in my domain. I cba going to each individual computer to add it =)

I have the shortcut on P:\XXXX\YYYY.ink or computername: MYSERVERDC01, P: drive.

This is how I did it:

GPO management -> Create GPO in this domain, and Link it here... -> Named it XYZ -> Right click on XYZ, edit -> Preferences(on both user AND computer, since I dont know which is right) -> Windows settings ->  Shortcut -> New shortcut.

So far so good?

These are the settings i put on the new shortcut.

Action: Create -- Name: XZY -- Target type: File System Object -. Location: Desktop -> Target path: p:\xxxx/yyyy.ink -- Start in: %commondesktopdir% -- Icon file path: p:/xxxx/yyy1.ico

--------------------------------------

It creates an shortcut on my testusers desktop, with the correct icon. But when I double click it, it sends me to c:\users\all desktop (something like that)..

How can I modify so it opens the shortcut that is located on p:/xxxx/yyyy.ink?

Should I add the new shortcut to Computer config or User config?

Is there an easier way to add a shortcut to all domain users?

Very thankfull for all help.

Regards

Jesper
