Has anyone got a take on this issues please :) ?


The problem is that the desktop icons, along with lots more, are not only stored on the server but cached on the workstations. It would seem that with your setup, the cache is probably not only unnecessary but harmful.

You should at least turn caching off. I'm fairly sure there's a group
policy change that will do this, but I've never used it. Try Google.

In this kind of application, you should probably be using mandatory
profiles, as it is not likely that you want individual users changing
the profile they use. Again, a policy change.
