SBS 2003 Folder Redirection/ GPO Question

Hey Guys,

I had a quick question (and apologies if this has been asked before!, I tried searching but couldn't find anything conclusive). I have a SBS2003 setup where in every user gets a 'user' folder under the User Shared Folders (which ultimately consists of a User Document folder). I wanted to disable that so that no user gets a User Shared Folder, is there a way I can do that? Does going to Shares (Local) under Server Management and disabling the share on User Shared Folders sufficient to stop that?

Second, instead of that, I have created a folder Hierarchy on my root folder with a following structure
-Root
-- HR
-- Operations
-- Accounting
-- Sales

I have groups that correspond to each Role, so User A is part of Group HR, and I would like a GPO that checks what Role it is, and display a shortcut to Root/HR on their respective desktops. Is that possible?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Best,
J

it would be better if you instead of shortcuts map network drives

do a batch file for each user group

:Existing File server
NET USE M: /DELETE
New File server
NET USE M: \\server2\HR

stick in gp under user logon script and you done ( group policy tied up to organizational unit of given users)
