I f you want to close down the
complete profile environment, use can use a mandatory profile. If you only want
to close down the desktop folder, redirect it to a network location. Be sure to
make the network location read-only and available offline. The latter could be
important when using with laptop computers or if the network link goes down. Be
sure when using offline files that use different computer names (1
server with two names or 2 servers) for resources that need to be available
offline and resources that are NOT available offline (always online). The
offline files feature determines availability on a per server (name!) basis. If
you have a server with shares that are available offline and the link speed
slows down for some reason and ends up below the threshold you configured, the
client determines that it should use those shares on THAT SERVER in offline
mode. All other shares that only are available ONLINE are not reachable anymore
because the client has determined THAT SERVER is offline!
My opinion about offline files:
nice thought, but the technical implementation is not that OK because it is not
bullet proof.

a good way to do this, disallowing any change to the
desktop. You could also point
the GPO to a specific desktop with folder redirection so your users would get a
predefined desktop, allowing you to create different GPOs with different desktops. That way, user A could
get a different desktop from user B, suiting their personal needs.. of course, you’d need to define
the groups of users that need a certain desktop and assign the GPO to that
group. What sort of input are
you looking for, precisely ? Paul. -----Original
Message----- I have
some information and an idea on how to do this but wanted to get some
input. Basically
creating a new workstation build with XP sp2. They want it where the users
cannot change their desktop (i.e put files on the desktop) or if they do
when they logout any changes go away. Definitely would like to do
this thru GPO so that special circumstances can be made easily if need be.
