Folder permissions using Folder Redirection GPO

[TobyA]

Dear Windows Gurus,

I have a single Windows 2003 Server and a number of clients running XP Pro SP2.

I am testing a GPO for redirecting my documents to the server. Under the target folder location I have specified "Create a folder for each user under the root path".

My root path is \\server01\Home

I have discovered that I need to give the authenticated users group full control of this folder in order for it to create a folder for the user on first login. Hence the docs end up stored in \\server01\Home\test1\My Documents, which has inherited permissions giving authenticated users full access.

Have I set this up wrong? Or do I really need to manually remove the authenticated users group from each user's folder once they have logged in to the domain?

Thanks a lot for your input!

Toby

You will need to turn off the inheritance on the folder you created. You must do a "copy" in order to turn off inheritance.
