add --enable-local-sync-backend on the shortcut link

When the user reconnect again all the bookmarks are saved under c:\users\%username%\appdata\roaming (with rds environment I suggest the redirection of appdata folder).

To check if the policy has been applied go to chrome://sync-internals, under "Local State" you can see something like this:

By default Local State section is like the following:
