Placing files in Netlogon folder
Is it ok for me to place the normal.dotm and powerpoint.potm files under Netlogon folder, so that i cause use GPO to call it from there to place it to users %appdata%\Microsoft\Template folder?
I tried using a network share but it would not copy. I gave READ permissions to that folder but nothing is happening, so I thought of putting it here. So, please, let me know that it would not automatically copy the files from Netlogon folder to all users folder unless there is a method to call those files?
- Good to hear, please mark it as solved 🙂
- You can put it in the netlogon/scripts folder, all scripts/files there are present on each Domain Controller in the sysvol folder and they are not copied automatically or anything like that until you have a script of GPO that starts that.
Harm_Veenstra Thanks Harm. I did copy it in the SYSVOL folder and I have a User Preference GPO and it is not copying.
I also tried converting the REG file for EXCEL and OUTLOOK to XML file and copied it under REGISTRY settings in User Preferences and I see that it is not working. Should this be a User Policy or Computer Policy where we try to copy these files to users computers?
- It's a user thing, so user policy IMHO. The user must have read permissions and the Scripts folder in sysvol should be accessible for them.
