SYNACK1

Right Ive just linked apps directly instead of trying to embed them in folders and it seems all good now.. so thanks for questioning the above. Thanks to all that helped. SO glad its Friday! have a good weekend all!

Nope that doesnt appear to work either

Just tried that no joy though but thanks for the suggestion.... ahhhhh this is doing my head in - - - Updated - - - just tried adding domain computers but no joy.. thanks for the suggestion though

Thanks Gonna have a look at this now its showing that the gpo itself is been succesfully deployed.. its just when I add new shortcuts to the share they are not updated on the end users redirected start menu

Think its the redirected appdata causing the issue?

Aha do you guys use mandatory instead?

Yea just redirecting appdata.. no roaming profile path specified

Hi all, Got a redirected start menu... all appears fine except when I add new shortcuts to the redirected start menu share the new ones do not appear.. any ideas? Works fine on windows 7 the newly added ones show.. Thanks

Perfect.. thanks I was totally overthinking this

Yea thats a good idea! would be good to do some testing before going live.. do you have any idea about what I posted above... If they werent able to give me a secondary subnet on the router interface.. and I wanted to subnet my /21 network would I need to ask them to change the subnet mask on there side to a /30 if I wanted to just create a point to point link between them and my layer 3 core switch. Thanks for the response aswell

Yea say for instance 10.x.x.1 255.255.248.0 is currently the default gateway to my ISP router. If I setup a specific subnet between my isp router and my core layer 3 switch (one thats going to do the inter vlan routing) as you said above. Would I have to get them to change the subnet mask on there interface so it could be like 10.x.x.1 255.255.255.252 & then on my specific subnet on my core switch I have 10.x.x.2 255.255.255.252. I'm trying to test my theory out in PT.. keeping the current subnet mask of 255.255.248.0 on the isp router interface and then putting a 255.255.255.252 on my core switch interface and it works? I'm probably over complicating things here and confusing myself. Thanks again

Ah sorry I'll try again. So as I as say currently we have a /21 network. the default gateway interface on our managed router is the first ip address in the range. Say if I wanted to subnet into /24 how am I best to tackle the interface address/subnet on the default gateway (can I keep the same one and not touch this).. or will I have to request the ISP to make some changes? Still dont know if I have explained it the best.. but thanks for the response

Bumping an old thread... but have a question that sort of ties in with this... basically we have been given a /21 block by our provider... If I wanted to subnet this down obviously the routes back would be fine as I totally get FN-GMs explanation (thanks btw). Currently are default gateway is the first in the range so would I have to get them to allocate me a seperate subnet for my default gateway interface say use the first ip address in the range still but instead have a /30 and connect this to my core switch? I may not have explained this the best way but any help would be great thanks.

Great thanks for that worked great! I don't suppose you know which reg key relates to pin to task bar or did you not remove that one

Thanks for this.. was this applied to user config?

Would I be able to get a peek at how you have done this? Thanks

Hi all, Couple of queries in regards to Windows 10 ltsb. Has anyone managed to disable the right click open file location on the start menu? Seems a few people asked the question but wondering if anyone got a working solution. Then next disabling the search option in the start menu as users are able to search a unc path that is otherwise blocked through file explorer. Thanks in advance

If I am understanding your question right they probably have a redirected start menu to a server share and then when opening up the file location it takes them to that share instead of the c: drive Just wondering did you ever get the registry change via gpo to stop the right click open file location working?

Yea but there is only 3 urls shortcuts that is it

Hi All, Having an issue with logins, Windows 7 first login can be really slow. I have turned verbose mode on everything runs through fine, the thing it gets stuck slow loading on is 'Preparing Desktop your desktop' and then also a personalized settings box pops up top right corner and that says setting up personalized settings for: Windows Desktop Update. Also for some users it just displays the windows logo for a good few minutes. I have checked event viewer can't see anything alarming. Only seems to happen on first logins. When users logon again all seems to be okay. Everything is redirected including appdata. Anyone got any ideas or experienced anything similar? TIA
