I'm trying to understand folder re-direction. I understand it makes log on's faster since the My Documents folder does not need to be copied back and forth. The server was set up before me and under the Profile tab for each user, a Profile path is set to make their profile roaming and a home folder was set to drive W and a path to a another share on the server for the my documents to be re-directed. I see that this can be accomplished with Group Policy and am wondering why it was not done like this to begin with. Should I enable the group policy to do this so I don't have to do this manually each time I add a new user? If so, do I need to set up a new folder since using group policy will want to copy the files from the old location to the new location?
Any help would be appreciated.
