Hi Darren, Just checked and the Fast Logon is not configured either way, and all these cleints are Vista. I will test with it enabled. The strange thing is that if the user has logged in and the local profile has been created the 2nd time they login the shortcuts could be there and then just disapear. Was trying to use GPLogView to see if I could see anything in there, but that just said that the shortcuts had been applied. Which they hadn't that time.

The error code shown in that report corresponds to "the system cannot find the file specified" which to me probably means that DFS path you are pointing to is not being resolved at logon the way it should. Do you have Fast Logon Optimization still enabled on your clients?

OU -All Users GPO - All- Users - Policy { Shortcuts set via preferences} OU-Autologon {users placed in this OU} GPO - Autologon - users - Policy Shortcut Preference With Item level targeting to an AD group When the user logs on most of the time the shortcuts are there but some times they do not appear in the menu. If you do a GPS you get the following : but sometimes they apear shortly after the user has logged in but sometimes they do not apear until a restart and login is preformed. Has any one experianced similiar issues. I think if I used the create it may help but I was homing to have the ability to remove the user from an AD group to remove access to the particular application. thanks Ronnie Visit our website : www.ltai.ie __________________________________________ Lufthansa Technik Airmotive Ireland Limited.
