- Edit the GPO that you just created.
- In the GPMC editor, expand User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Shortcuts. Right click Shortcuts > New > click Shortcut.
- In the New Shortcut Properties window, specify the Action as Create. Type the name of the shortcut and specify the Target Type as URL.
- Set the Location as All Users Desktop and specify the Target URL.
- Finally, you must specify an Icon File.
- Click OK. The GPO desktop shortcut is now ready. You can still go back and edit the shortcut if required.
- Once you have created and applied the policy, you may need to wait up to two hours for it to be applied to end users.
- Note: To force an update, you can run the command gpupdate on the users’ computers or log off and login.
