GPO to deploy Web Folder
Hi
We would like to deploy web folders using GPO to users in our domain so that they can access a SharePoint file system through Office applications. UNC paths do not work for this purpose very well as folder structure can be missing ie we would like to use a GPO to deploy a "My Network Place" to http://test/document library/doclib1
We have a 2008 server on the domain to administer GP as it was suspected this would help
Urgent help greatly appreciated

Hi dematzer
I have been here already. Unfortunately the string does not provide an answer. Having also surfed extensively, EE was my last resort.
Thanks

What OS are your clients running?
Do they have Client Side Extensions installed for Group Policy Extensions? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731892(WS.10).aspx

We run XP Pro and yes. What seems to happen when following the uinstructions as suggested is that a shortcut will appear for the Internet Site and not a Web Folder.
When choosing the folder option during the GPO configuration it will only let you use a UNC path

Is using a script out of the question?
You could then create a shortcut in: %USERPROFILE%\NetHood
Or alternatively create your shortcut and put the lnk file on a network share then run the following in a loginscript: copy /y "\\server\servershare\shor

sorry ignore the .lnk if you create a netfolder shre I dont think it had it.
I just did this in an SBS2003 environment and it worked OK
