GPO to push shortcuts to computers in the domain
He EE,
I have a security group that has about 100 users. I need to put two new shortcuts for their desktops.
We are on windows 7 professional and just want to know if this can be done via GPO.
Thanks,

It never worked for me. :(
I am tired of this GPO and now I created a batch file that will copy the shortcuts to the desktop but still I am having an issue to apply it to a user with a particular security group.
