One tip is to not redirect the "Application Data" folder to a network
share. It is heavily used by Windows while a user is logged on, so it
should be left local. We redirected that folder in one farm and had
major latency issues.

Well, that is how it's setup already. But, it appears that when you do
Desktop folder redirection, it "blocks" the All Users desktop from
applying any icons there.

Chris:
Within my company, we do folder redirection for users to a selected
folders, not the whole caboodle. We don't redirect to a "All Users
desktop", but this may help.
Within one GPO, we send users to a desktop folder for basic setup and
information. Depending on what group the user is a member of, we are
send them to a group's desktop folder for desktop settings.
The location for the GPO settings is:
Users Configuration \ Windows Setting \ Folder Redirection
And we send the user to this location:
\\ servername\userdesktops\(group's desktop)
Within a different GPO, we have other users that have folder redirection
to their own desktop and other folders. The GPO settings is the same
above, with the location settings below:
\\ servername\users\%username%\application data \\
servername\users\%username%\desktop
\\ servername\users\%username%\My Documents
We also have the users on with roaming profiles.
It may or may not be most efficient way of doing things with the above
settings, but it does work.
Hope this helps.

Anyone have success with the following requirements:
* Must have common icons on a common desktop
* Users must be able to customize their desktop
I was hoping that if I put the required icons on the AllUsers Desktop
and do Desktop folder redirection, that would work. But, it appears
that when enabling Desktop folder redirection, it disables the AllUsers
Desktop folder.
Also, I'm not looking for a 3rd party utility, and scripting might take
too long to develop.
Thanks,
Chris
