Clearly you've stumbled into a group that is not interested in just handing
you the answer to your problem. We like to see people figure things out for
themselves.
I'm not sure you are able to figure this out on your own.
You will need to do the following:
Decide how you are going to run your little shortcut login script. Are you
going to add it in the profile of each user? This is very time consuming if
you have lots of users. If we are talking about a dozen then hey no biggie
add it in the user profile.
If you need to use GPO, then you need to learn a few things about how to
create a gpo and how to apply the script so that all the users get it when
they log on.You do not need to connect via RDP to do this, you will need
access to sysvol and the Admin Pack needs to be installed on your machine.
How are you logging onto the network you are supporting? If you are
accessing it via vpn, then you simply need to make sure that the Admin tools
are installed on the machine you are using, and that you have admin creds.
GPO is the fastest way to get this done from your current starting point.
Now go forth and do great things. Next time look stuff up or hit a group
that will give you the answers without you having to do any of the work.
Here is the little VBS you can use to change out the goofy shortcut on your
cluser's desktops.
On Error Resume Next
set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sDesktop = oShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
DesktopPath = Shell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FSO.DeleteFile DesktopPath & "\Old.lnk"
set oSLink = oShell.CreateShortcut(sDesktop & "\New.lnk")
oSLink.TargetPath = "\\NewServer\NewFileShareName"
oSLink.Save

Well, if terminal services wasn't scerwed up by one of the two previous
admins, I'd not have a problem. I have to write login scripts and get them
working without terminal services beig installed on that server - and yes,
I've tried to activate it but somewhere along the way before i got into
this
company, it got removed - don't ask me how as I'm not the one who was
here
when it happened.
And in general I think I'll just take care of the problem myself. The
folks
here seem to be more interested in being smart asses than helpful. Thanks
for
at least asking an intelligent question. I should have included more
detail
to start with to avoid the clowns.

We have a new file server and I'm looking for a simple way to re-direct
the
current shortcuts on over 250 computers to the new location.
Example - on each desktop there is a shortcut to the current location
(\\old
server\documents) and they need to go to (\\new server\documents)
Any suggetions on doing this without having to hit each user's machine?
The
old server is Server 2000 SR4 and the new one is Server 2003 with all
the
newest whistles and bells.
I must be missing something here but can't you just modify the login
script?
