We have a SharePoint 2010 site that has individually customized pages (dashboards) for each user. The URL to each user's dashboard contains their Active Directory username. The URL for a dashboard would be as follows: sharepoint/dashboards/USERNAME. I'm
trying to figure out a way to use Group Policy or other means to force everyone's homepage to their dashboard by default. I'm unable to do this through Group Policy by going to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet
Explorer and setting "Disable changing homepage settings" to sharepoint/dashboards/%username%. Internet Explorer doesn't seem to accept and translate that variable when it comes from Group Policy. However, creating a shortcut file with sharepoint/dashboards/%username%
does work.
Would anyone know how to achieve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
