Thanks all for the valid answers..
I planned to redirect the Desktop and my documents to network folder and assign permission as readonly access, so that users cant save any files on desktops. Also Restrict access to c & D drives in my computer, so that they are not able to store files in drive.
Thanks !!
Wow, I've never heard anyone doing this before. I will be surprised if you don't have issues.
If the idea is to ensure that everyone always has access to everything (seems like an overly paranoid request) then you can grant full access (or at least read/write access) to the redirection folder on the server. When setting up the folder redirection in GPO make sure you don't check the box that gives only the user exclusive access.
This is going to cause a mountain of issues, I'm warning you. If the issue is that users are saving them on the local desktop and not on a NAS/network drive, use folder redirection, which is easy with GPO. If it's just users saving documents on the local machines period, you need to look at alternative approaches to how you handle your workstations.
Just to make sure anyone wasn't confused by my post. My intention wasn't to say that the redirection for all users would go to the same folder. Everyone would get a subfolder of the root share just like normal, but everyone would be granted full permissions which is definitely not something that's normal. So there shouldn't be an inherent problems with this, but of course users would mess with each other pretty badly if they wanted.
