folder redirection

[iwannabeit]

k...

I made a share to test out folder redirection named FolderRedirection on the main server...

I then applied privileges for Everyone to have Full Control of the folder...

I then used GPO editor to redirect the users data (MyDocs, App Data, Desktop, StartMenu) to the newly created share.

I then logged onto a test account within that group and saved a few new files for testing purposes on the desktop and in mydocs... (all profiles are roaming)

There is nothing on the server, but on the local machine these newly created test files are being kept in the c:/documents and settings/testuser's directory... shouldnt they now be going to the server share i created??? Arrgh, this should be simple...

Can anyone suggest any minor nuances i may have missed, ex.--should i enable loopback processing?

thnx

run gpresult on the workstation and verify that the policy is being applied.

iwannabeit,

In the GPO that you created to redirect the folders change the path to \\Server\Share\%username% so it will create a subfolder for each user.

i have to admit i have been trying the whole \\Server\Share\%username% and I apply that to the GPO, then i try logging on as johnbgood... all of my docs are still being saved locally and the folder on the server does not apply any %username% whatsoever.... the server is running 2000 adv and the majority of thestations are xp clients... gotta be something soooo simple.. should the %username% folder be made on the \share upon logging in after the GPO is applied???? arrrrrrrrgh
