I just completed setting up a locked down desktop on MF XPA, Windows
2000. I had no major problems and it works great. I have a redirected
desktop, start menu, and limited access to control panel items (3 in
total).
Unless Windows 2003 is different is sounds like you don't have the user
settings set. Under User Configuration, Windows Settings, Folder
Redirection you should have 4 options to redirect (Application Data,
Desktop, My Documents, Start Menu). If you use the advanced settings you
can redirect by groups (e.g. accounting group goes to
\\server\users\accouting)

You can do it by editing the registry with a login script that you use
GPO to launch. As for a strictly GUI way to do it, I have not seen one.
The only options you have are the 4 listed in the policy. This may not
be off much help to you but we use a program called ScriptLogic which
handles folder redirection for anything you want to put in. It is based
on Kix which I know some think is an outdated language but it works for
what we need. It validates against all Microsoft OS'es.

Subject: [THIN] OT: GPO Folder Redirection
Hi all,
Having only used system policy previously, I'm trying to get my head
around group policy on a new 2003 machine we are implementing.
On our (soon to be) old NT4 domain users running NT4 w/ MF 1.8 had a
custom shared desktop and shared programs folder via system policy. I am
trying to implement exactly the same through folder redirection in the
GPO on our new
2003 machines, but I can only redirect the desktop and there is no
option for programs only start menu.
I know I can achieve this by editing the all users profile in the doc's
& settings folder to what I require, but I'm sure there must a way of
doing through the GPO.
Any ideas?
Rgds,
Jon.......
