This video demonstrates how to add group policy support for a new Offline Desktop folder.

Certain departments or business units may have desktop security requirements that differ from those normally covered by the normal Student, Teacher, and Technician desktop settings and may require their own desktop folders. This video demonstrates how to configure the group policy settings for a global security group called 'Librarian Users' so that members of the group will receive their own Desktop and Start Menu folders when using the SchoolSuite Offline Desktop.

The demonstration assumes that a 'Librarian Users' global user group, 'Librarians' desktop folder structure and offline folder file have already been created and covers the following areas of group policy configuration:

Creating a new domain group policy link.
Setting the policy security so it applies to the correct users.
Assigning the correct policy template file.
Changing the default folder redirection settings.
Setting the SchoolSuite user policy to support the Offline Desktop.
