UNC path question

[andyds]

Windows 2003

I am trying to set up offline files on a GPO for user's individual home folders. I have turned on the GPO setting: User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files. I have added the following UNC path to allow access: \\Server\User Areas\ but I get "Access denied. Contact your administrator" message when trying to open any file when offline. Each individual user has their own folder within the User Areas folder but I need to know a UNC path which will allow only that user to access their own home folder when offline. The full UNC path for user bob would be \\Server\User Areas\Bob but i can not put each one in individually. That would take forever.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have no idea if it would work in a GPO but have you tried something like \\Server\User Areas\%USERNAME% ?

And offline files are enabled on the server?

I haven't actually tried what you're doing. I was just throwing out an idea about what you could try in your UNC path that might save you from having to add it all manually.
