Win7 mandatory profiles
Greetings,
I am working in a 2003 server 2008 forest environment, schema 44. i am using a win7 laptop with GPME installed, win 7 GPO policies applied to take effect immediately. I am trying to setup seven different mandatory profiles for 50+ win7 laptops, i can get the profile logged in, and have worked out all the errors with mapping printers and temp profile errors, but my desktop items in my .v2 folder do not copy over. i have tried placing the share for the profile on both a 2003 and 2008 server with no luck.
any help from the gods is greatly appreciated!! =D

Problem with that document is I'm not using a default profile for the domain, and i am not creating an image. These are win 7 pro clients, 52 of them ,and each will have a login to the domain. not a TS session. if one client goes down in area "A" and we have to move a client from area "B" we need to simply logout of one profile and login to another. This way they have the shortcuts, printers, mapped drives and all they need with no help desk support. the profiles work fine now, just no desktop items.
These units are replacing 52 win xp clients that are in production now, i have two weeks to make them look, feel and act just about the same as the old ones the nurses are using now to avoid a lynch mob!

So these are just icons within the profile's desktop folder? Is the desktop folder redirected or is part of the profile itself?
Are other folder contents copying over OK? I presume the permissions on the desktop items are definitely correct?
Anything in the event logs from at logon?
You could even try turning on the Diagnostic Log under Applications and Services Logs - Microsoft - Windows - Winlogon (Show them in the View menu first) but you might be somewhat swamped with data even after a single logon.

icons are shortcuts, some for applications, and some IE links. all are in the desktop folder on the share. all are valid, and permissions are ok for all sub-folders
i don't really have anything else copied over, i can add some favorites and see what they do.
event viewer logs for application show one error for a GPO change to a printer to make it default, but it does what it is supposed to.
support acticles about that log say there is nothing useful to a field engineer, only to MS. i can try it and see.
I am building six more policies today, so i'll be doing lots more testing.
