Redirecting TS users desktops

I am trying to get my Termianl Server users to all see one desktop which will be located on a network share. I have set an AD policy to redirect the users desktops but it doesn't appear to work correctly. I want everyone to have the same wallpaper, icons ect. What is the best way of doing this ?

If you want your users to have the same desktop you might consider mandatory profiles.  This will keep the user enviroment consistant and keep them from messing things up.  Check out the following link for info on creating them:

One more note.  You can define the path for the mandatory profiles on the Terminal Services Profile tab in the properties of the user object.
