Re: Need to redirect "All Users" profile items

XP combines the contents from the "All Users" profile with the contents of the User's profile to display the Start Menu and Desktop.

I am using GPO Folder Redirection for Start Menu and Desktop, but that only accounts for the User's settings, not "All Users".

It looks like "All Users" can only come from the local drive. I need to have it come from the server using Folder Redirection. That way, I can control common Start Menu and Desktop items for every user in the domain, and they can control any additional items they may need/want, and the combination of the two should transparently display for them.

To me, this simple need seems to be reasonable and common! But I cannot locate a way to do this, or a workaround or 3rd party tool that would help if MS doesn't provide a way. Any ideas?




Not exactly what you want, but how about suppressing the "programs" element of start menu and only including a shortcut to the server "start menu"? I'm sorry I don't have the policy item reference, but I'm at home at today.
