Folder inside share point – put on desktop

[LegacyCode]

Hello all,

Forgive my ignorance if there is an easy solution to this.

Is there a way to put a folder inside a share point on a user’s desktop? In other words, I have…

Server/Groups as the share point, but I don’t want that to show up on the user’s desktop, I want Server/Groups/Pictures to show up on the user’s desktop instead.

I can create an alias to this folder on the user’s computer and that works just fine, but I don’t want to have to do this manually on every client. Can I…

1) in WGM on the server, set this folder to show up on a user’s desktop automatically?
or
2) have some sort of script (again setup in WGM) that automatically creates an alias to this folder on the user’s desktop upon login.
or
3) Some other solution that makes more sense!

Thanks for your help!

Not exactly sure about on the desktop, but if they just need easy access to it, you can add it to the “Documents and Folders” section of the dock preferences for either users or groups in WGM. Keeps the desktop that much cleaner, too, unless you have a specific need to make it show up there.

EDIT: I’m pretty sure you can set up a sub-folder inside the share point as the target this way (I had just done some of this today, but thinking about it more, it may have just been the share point itself in each case…).
