Hi,
we tried to redirect the startmenu via a group policy.
It works fine with one menu.
But now we will use cumulative menus.
We have one standard menu with Office and want to have some additional menus
for special programs.
What is working is:
one menu with office
one menu with office and special program1
one menu with office and special program2
one menu with office and special program1 and program2

But is it possible to have:
one menu with office
one menu with special program1
one menu with special program2

and set this cumulative for security groups?
I have not found a solution for that.
If I try to use the setting -extended- under -user config - windows - folder
redirection - startmenu - and the logged on user is a member of two security
groups listed in this box, then only the last startmenu will be used.

Regards
Florian
 
Re: Redirect of startmenu

Hi,

Redirect the start menu to a network location and use
ntfs permissions to grant which security groups have
access to the submenus under Programs.

Make sure you download, install and enable Access
Based Enumeration on the server that stores the menus.
With this users will only see folders they have access to
like on a Novell system; meaning if they only have
permissions to Office and special program1 subfolders
that is all that will show up on their menu.
