Can I direct all users in one OU to share a common desktop/my document? (Folder Redirection)

Say we have a few OU's, each OU will only have 1 active user at any given time. Lets call it OU: A,B,C,D. When a person leaves, I want the new user to be able to access all of the same desktop/documents of the previous user. I don't want to have to come
in and copy the desktop/my documents folder each time for this.  
Say if  User in OU "A" leaves and there's a temp/replacement, can I just copy the existing user's profile and create a new one in OU A and have the new user be able to log in with their new account but have all the desktops and my documents
of the previous user. Of course if this can be achieved, even when the machine gets replaced, the desktops/my documents are there. 
At the moment, we have shared folder for those groups of people but we're not enforcing them to save to the mapped drive. Lots of them have no idea what a mapped drive is. :( I want to simplify this process and get away with spending hours of backing up/restoring
people's my documents and desktops when they come and go.

Hi,
I don't think we can set multiple users to a same redirected folder.
Under Basic - Redirect everyone's folder to the same location, there is only one option seems close to your purpose which is "Redirect to the following location". However to get it work, the user need to be the owner of the target folder, and it will not
work even we set Everyone as the Owner. 
Meanwhile I do not understand why you would like to share a redirected Desktop with all users. If you would like to share files or folders, you can map a folder for all users. If you would like to publish applications to all users, you can deploy application
through Group Policy.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]
Yes you can and I confirm this works. The key is to uncheck
"grant user exclusive rights"
here's an example of what I did. 
Created OU A and B
OU A - Added user A1 and A2
OU B - Added user B1 and B2
Created Security Groups A and B
Share folders \\PDC1\A\Desktop and \\PDC1\A\Documents grant permission to security group A (repeat for group B)
Use basic folder redirect and the option to redirect everyone to the same shared drives as above. In the setting tab, uncheck "Grant user exclusive rights" 
And to answer your question, we do you mapped folders. Each user have their own mapped drives but no one is using it. They don't even know what mapped drives are in most
cases. They tend to like to save everything to their desktops or their whatever the default saved location is, in this case it's "Documents". There are plenty other reasons why I want this.

  • Can i delete all users in one go?

    I am using SAP authentication. Afer defining my Entitlement system, under options i did not chose to Import users for the imported role.
    But All users for the imported rloe are imported. i dont want all users. It is painful as well to delete each user at a time for 500 users. How can i delete all users in a sinlge go?
    Please help
    --Krish

    This may ork: Try to set the Force user synchronization option under CMC->Authentication->SAP->Options and remove the role temporarily.
    Such a behaviour  can be xeplained only through the setting of the option Automatically import users under CMC->Authentication->SAP->Options . Even for a short period of time.
    You MUST create a role that contains only the SAP users you want to accept in your BOBJ system and import this role in the CMC

  • Manual bypass to view all history entries of all user for one report

    Test have been performed on standealone BIP 10.1.3.4.1 (Patch 11931697). May be it can be reproduced with previous versions and/or other J2EE container.
    Problem is now described in Oracle Support with bug ID : 12412334
    Bypass solution may be helpful for people who use work directly in BIP web interface or who integrate this web interface using HTTP URLs or HTTP/REST like custom app (and may be other cases...)
    When logged with an admin username, you can view OR filter "ALL" history of one all users for one report by typing an url like :
    http://BIP/xmlpserver/servlet/reporthistory?report_url=/REPORT_DIR_PATH/XDO_NAME/XDO_NAME.xdo&tfilter=all
    Where :
    BIP is BIP Server DNS
    REPORT_DIR_PATH is report directory path in BIP web interface
    XDO_NAME is report's name

    I don't think there is a way. There should be, but I've never seen it.

  • ITunes Shared library with all users on one computer

    I am trying to share my iTunes (version 8.2) library with all the users on my computer. So far, this is what I have done:
    1) I have moved the music folder into the shared folder.
    2) I have selected "Add to Library" in all three accounts.
    3) I have tried checking and unchecking the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library."
    Since then, I have added some CDs that had some songs that I already had. When I loaded these CDs, I deleted the duplicates that had the worse sound. Since then, everything is unwinding. The additions on one user account are not being added to the others. When I delete a track, iTunes (obviously) says that it can't find the song anymore. What's odd is that I then delete the one that is missing, and both are missing now: the one that I deleted on the original account and the one that I did not delete on the original account.
    I am starting to think that I need to start from scratch. So, to make a long story short (too late), how can I share my iTunes library with all users on one computer, where I can make a change in one account that will update automatically on the other accounts. If it can't be updated automatically, how can I add/delete files without causing the headaches I am currently having?
    Brian

    I actually followed this, but I still had problems that I listed above. Is there any way that when you make changes to one account (even if there is only one main account where changes are made), the changes are automatically (or at least easily) applied to the other user accounts?

  • How can I have multiple users on one apple id?

    How can I have multiple users on one apple ID?
    ie: I have my apple ID with my own credit, how can I set up credit for my son under the same apple ID, so that he can still access the same apps I've already downloaded and paid for?

    I've been trying to figure out a clean way to do this too. I think you may need more than one Apple ID – one that is shared and used to purchase "sharable" items and then "individual" Apple IDs for you and your son. That's the idea that I'm pursuing for the moment.
    It seems that there must be a way to do this, App Store purchases for the Mac are licensed across multiple machines. iPhone app purchases have "all your devices" licensing. Makes me think that Apple has a process in mind for sharing an account (or associating a device with multiple accounts).
    Other things I've learned:
    - Apparently you can't merge Apple ID accounts. I asked about this once at an Apple Store and was told that there was no way to do it.
    - If you share an Apple ID the Messages app behaves in a somewhat surprising manner. It must use your Apple ID to decide where messages should be sent because all users get all messages. This can make it very hard to organize a surprise party :-)

  • Can you have multiple users for one account?

    Can you have multiple users for one account? if so how do you set it up.
    We are using it for our department and it would be great to see who created what form instead of it being all one name.

    Each person should have their own account. You can easily share the forms with other people in your department. You will be able to see who the author of the form is.

  • How can i view all users?

    Hi all.
    i am using Oracle 10g.
    How can i view all users?
    Tanx
    Alam

    So if you can not get complete set of data you will take a subset (which can be empty, BTW) and say this is a complete list?In a 10.2.0.4 database a user with CONNECT role only can see every username. Can't see all the details but that's the intent of the view. I don't know if this is a doc bug or what.
    And, it is, BTW, a very good thing DBA_USERS is not available to everyone. List of users is part of security and is at least confidential.Agree 100%. I just thought it was a bit odd for you to suggest that I RTFM the ALL_USERS definition, and point out that the docs state it's a list of users visible to the current user, when your suggestion to the OP was to use DBA_USERS. It's likely that a user with the ability to query DBA_USERS would have all users visible to them anyway. I just didn't understand your rather rude followup directed at me. I'm just trying to help, just like everyone else here.

  • How can I get all users associated with my VSO

    I see here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/integrate/api/shared/profiles that I can get my profile info from the API, but can I get all users associated with an account?

    Hello!
    If you want to see all of that in a single mailbox, you can create a Smart Mailbox from the "file" menu in the top left corner of your screen. It's a bit of trial and error before you get the rules correct, perhaps, but that will work.
