Folder redirection

[2097]

How is every one redirecting the desktops ?

 

I have set the desktops in group policy to redirect which is fine ,

 

The problem being .. %userprofile%/Desktop still redirects to the local user folder .

 

Any solution to this ?

I Think it is better to use the full path for desktops E.G: \\STUDENTSERVER\USERNAME$\Desktop.

 

Defo use hidden shares for security reasons.

 

Hope this helps.

John this is how i have set it up .

 

the problem is a lot of our scripts use %userprofile%/Desktop to deploy shortcuts .

 

Didnt know if there was an easier way to redirect this path to a UNC path ?

[johnhart96]

Oh right,

 

In the script can you not use a SET

 

SET USRPATH="\\UNC\JSD"

 

I'm not sure if this will work, but it might be worth a try
