Windows 2k3 Group Policy Setup

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

You should be able to implement a GPO to redirect the My Documents folder
without having to use roaming profiles. As long as the user logging in is
using a domain account, the per user policy will apply.

For the favourites, you could implement a login script (specified in another
GPO), to copy the shortcuts from a user folder on a server. I.e. user 'jdoe'
would have a share on the server called 'jdoe$' which contained his
favourites & the script would use the %username% environment variable to
copy from the %username%$ share into the favourites folder in his local
profile. For my money, once you've bothered to do all this, you might as
well use roaming profiles.
