Just to clarify, you are creating a shortcut on the users desktop that is pointing to something on a server share? Are you using a unc path?
Also are you doing a create, update or replace? From: James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 17 March 2010 1:06 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Group Policy Preferences context Does anyone know what user context Group Policy Preferences execute in? I have a GPO to apply desktop shortcuts to a redirected area, and it fails unless the Users group has Change access. I have been testing it with Administrators, System and the actual user themselves added to the ACL, but unless I explicitly grant Users Change permission, the Group Policy application fails with an "Access Denied" message. This is a Windows 2008 R2 domain, user logging on to a 2008 R1 terminal server, and the redirection is going to a share on a 2003 FAP server.

I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
