asked on

Standardised desktops throughout domain

Hi Guys,
Is there any documentation on how to properly set up a standardised desktop throughout a domain? We also would like the applications that people use to have icons in the Quick Launch bar, has anyone done this or know of a way of doing that?
Many thanks for any help!

Hi KCTS,

Just to point out that you can put the Default User profile directory you want to use domain-wide in the Netlogon share on the server. That's where I have mine, I never have to puy it in the C:\Documents and Settings route. So if you want it set domain wide, simply create a folder in the \\<your server>\netlogon folder called "Default User" then when using Copy To, copy it to \\<your server>\netlogon\Default User

This behaviour is described here: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Articles/ArticleID/47534/47534.html

So there's no need to copy it to all the machines...
Ah right, fair enough!
