Hello,
I am trying to configure folder redirection. I want to redirect My docs and Desktop folders for just two users.I have configured the group policy for the domain under active directory users and computers. I have configured the two folders to be redirected to a shared folder on the network. I have made sure that the shared folder has all the permission (essentially it has no permissions anyone can do anything), but still the profiles dont seem to be redirected. I havent missed out a single step that has been mentioned on most of the tutorials i found online. Can someone please suggest where i may have gone wrong. To me it seems like a common mistake as i have seen similar problems with people online but no one seems to hav an answer. Please let me know if anyone knows whats happening.
Thanks.
Rishi

The actual folder redirection is done through the group policy. To redirect a folder, open the Group Policy Editor and navigate to User Settings | Windows Settings | Folder Redirection. The group policy requires you to redirect each of the four folders separately, but the procedure for doing so is the same for each folder. Set the folder?s Setting option to Basic ? Redirect Everyone?s Folder To The Same Location. Next, select the Create A Folder For Each User Under The Root Path option from the Target Folder Location drop down list. Finally, enter your root path in the place provided. For example, on my test server, I just created a share called USERS on a server named computerstorm. Therefore, I entered \computerstormusers as the root path.You will notice that in the example under the root path, Windows automatically fills in the user name and the folder name. This occurs because Windows will automatically create all of the necessary folders and will set the required permissions as well.
