    Use folder redirection. Redirect Desktop to a network location with a read only access and My Documents to the network folder where the user has Full Control permissions...

    You need to use a domain-based GPO linked to the OU where user accounts reside - use Group Policy Management console for this

    The behavior regarding ability to modify desktop by users with administrative privileges is expected - as long as they have write permissions to the network location to which the desktop has been redirected. If you want to change this, you need to revoke these permissions (but keep in mind that Admins will be able to change this back if they decide to do so).

    As far as automatic creation of redirected folders goes, make sure you assign permissions according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274443 

    You might want to also take into consideration info in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775853(WS.10).aspx

    Hi,

     

    Please make sure that the sharing and NTFS permissions of the shared folder are correct. You may modify the NTFS permissions as “Marcin Policht” suggested.

     

    In addition, please also verify the scope you want to apply the group policy. You may link the GPO to Site, Domain and OU. Please make sure the users you want to apply the Folder Redirection group policy are placed to the correct Site, Domain or OU the GPO linked to. If you place the group in OU

     

    If the issue persists, would you please send me more information for analyzing. For your convenience, I have created a workspace for you. You can upload the information files to the following link. (Please choose "Send Files to Microsoft")

    Hi Marcin,

    I did Folder Redirection in GPMC but only for administrator only it automatically created the folder at my sharing. when i am trying to log in as a user it is not creating any thing.

    And also i have noticed that when i am trying to save any thing on my administrator account on my desktop it is still allowing me to save it on my desktop after creating the policy also?

     

    can you please help me on this issue?

    thanks

    ramesh
