Add IE 11 Favorite Bar
I need to use GPO to add shortcuts in IE 11 Favorite Bar (not just favorite shortcuts) to some member servers.
Can someone advise how to do that?
Thanks.

McKnife,
I create a new file and have the following as source and destination, and I use CREATE:
source: \\server1\updates\favorite s\links\AD P.URL
destination: \\server1\userdata\%userna me%\favori tes\links\ ADP.URL
I go to the server which has this GPO and do a gpupdate, I logout and login. I do not see ADP.URL being copied to \\server1\userdata\%userna me%\favori tes\links

No no, the path is as I had told him, David. "Favorites bar" does not exist, it's %userprofile%\Favorites\Li nks
nav2567, you need to configure this in the user settings section of the policy. Source is correct. Destination would be as i told you before: %userprofile%\Favorites\Li nks\ADP.UR L

your correct, I don't know where I got favorites bar from
You see it in explorer. It's that "great" feature Microsoft introduced in vista and has kept until today to not always show us what folder we are in.

Hey McKnife,
We are using roaming profile and the URLs, for example, have to go into \\server1\userdata\%userna me%\favori tes\links\ ADP.URL as a destination.
I tried %userprofile%\Favorites\Li nks\ADP.UR L but it does not work.

Did you do as suggested and use the user configuration portion of the GPO?
Is the GPO linked to an OU where your test user is in?
Both has to be fulfilled.

Thanks, both. I am using user configuration and link the GPO to the OU that contains the server.
I am doing a gpresult /R on the server and see the attached error.
Please advise what I should do.

Not to the Server, link it to the users as it's user configuration.
