Setup GPO to push out 2 website shortcuts to users desktops.
One of our clients has requested 2 website shortcuts be installed on all users desktops for current and new profile logins. I am a little shaky with GPO and would like to know where in the policy is the correct place to set this up and how to go about it. One of the other engineers created it in the default GPO but after a reboot it didn't work. Any help is appreciated. Server is 2008.
You can push favorites
You can setup a folder and then use GPO at computer level and copy the shortcut into the all users desktop such that it only has one copy.
The changes to shortcuts would need a reboot.
The user level GPk login script can be used to copy from a central folder into the local user's desktop.
This change will occur when a user logs in.

I've decided not to use GPO and just use our remote monitoring tool to push out a simple copy script.
copy "\\servername\SYSVOL\domai
I have the URL in the folder but it's not copying for some reason.

Have you tried:
User configuration > Preferences > Windows settings > Files > New File
Since this is for users, for the Destination File, you probably want to use something like %DesktopDir%\weblink.html. This will put the link on the user's Desktop
