There isn't a specific GPO setting to do this, but you could write a script that would do this and then deploy the script via GPO.

Hello there.<br />
<br />
I'm fairly new to GPO and such like - I don't use them as fully as I should, however, I have a problem that if it could be solved by GPO, would make my life so much easier.<br />
<br />
Basically, i've inherited an application that at various points, deletes all from the local machine directory 'WINDOWS/Temp' ... unless the user has permissions on this directory, an error occurs. <br />
<br />
I would therefore like to assign delete permissions to all people in the OU to this local machine directory ...<br />
<br />
Is this possible in GPO ?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

GPO ... give permissions to a specified directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
