Group Policy and Desktop Icons

I have a few servers running Windows 2003 Server and I want to add desktop icons through a group policy in AD. The icons I want to add are fairly basic (ie shortcut to services) What is the best to do this, it would be the same icons added for every user which logs into the server.
