We have a mxiture of Windows 7 and Windows XP computers. The XP computers were already setup for desktop folder redirection. Is there a way of combining the two O/S's into one desktop folder redirection or having two different desktop profiles for each on a domain controller hosting either 2003 or 2008, which would allow desktop icons to be added to either the XP or Win 7 desktop from the server?

Windows 7 Profiles and Folder Redirection

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).

Windows Server 2003

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
