Two issues:

I would like to create these shortcuts using a script. I've hunted around
the script center and havent' yet located a way to create .lnk files.

Second issue:
I need to create shortcuts for AD published objects on the desktop but when
I copy and paste the object, it doesn't appear to create the ntds:// target
like it use to in 2k.

Any suggestions on either of these issues?

Thanks~!

1.) You can use the CreateShortcut method of VBScript.

2.) Need more details.

Thank you Patrick. I'lll look into the create shortcut.

As for the details: you can publish shares in AD, then create a shortcut to
the AD object which then redirectsthe user to the server. If you move the
share to another server, you update the object but don't have to update the
clients as they aren't pointing to the server directly but to the AD object.

When I created this shortcut in 2k, it was a simple click and drag out of
the AD window and it created a target that strated with ntds://. I can't
seem to get the same results in 2k3 and wanted to know how or why.
