RDS Desktop per each OU
Hello Experts,
I have an Windows 2008 R2 environment using RDS and I want to make different Desktops per OU or based on member groups.
My current setup is that I have an OU named RDS - Users and move users to this OU when I deploy a thin client for them. I want each department to have their own desktop because departments are removing other departments shortcuts (not nice).
Can anyone please provide me details of the best way to organize this separation?

Sorry for the late responses. I will be working on my test server to try these out. It will take me about a week to get this problem again.

Hello, I am not understanding the group setting for redirection of desktop.
I have an OU called - RDS-Users. I have a Security Group - Global named "Billing-Grp". I have added redirection for both the RDS-User and Billing-Grp. My user has is a member of both.
My GPO are all under RDS-Users as I am trying to avoid setting up a major GPO for each department for RDS.
When I login I get the desktop for RDS-USers and I want Billing-GRP desktop.

I am trying all these suggestions in a lab. I believe you have provided solid advise but I think I have to test it out to get a real life feel. My users are going to change requirements at a whim as they already have (i.e. I don't want to be able to delete ICONS, oh by the way how come I can't delete ICONs..... arrgh). Yes, I need to step back and get better business agreement.

Currently I have a gpo at an OU level and the a specific folder redirection for desktop, documents etc. I guess I could remove the desktop and change it for the individual OUs.
