Hi<\/p>\n
I have created a shortcut on workstations through GPO for users. It is working.
\nBut when the users logon to RDS server, the icon is also represented in their dekstop (rds desktop).<\/p>\n
Is it posible to present the shortcut only in workssstation and not on the server ?<\/p>\n
yours faithfully

Put a block on the policy against the RDS server OU.<\/p>\n
Policies should target specific OUs, not domain level, so you apply it only to workstations in the OUs you want, and not servers in different OUs, either block it at the RDS OU level or apply the GPO only where you need it, not at the domain level.<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"datePublished":"2025-06-20T14:13:59.164Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/gpo-shortcut-on-ws-server/1216950/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Rod-IT","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Rod-IT"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Let me know how it goes, but I’d start by not applying the policy to servers.<\/p>","upvoteCount":3,"datePublished":"2025-06-20T14:22:07.704Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/gpo-shortcut-on-ws-server/1216950/4","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Rod-IT","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Rod-IT"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
