Group Policy / Vista


GPO, Vista compatibility, Group Policy, Vista, Windows Vista

I've created a group policy (using a vista PC) to redirect users' My
Documents folder to a sub folder of their home drive. I.e. It should
redirect to \\\myserver\users\joe.bloggs\My Documents\

It works fine for windows XP, but vista clients only seem to redirect "my
music", "my pictures" and "my videos". All their documents seem to stay in
c:\user\joebloggs

In the GPO I have chosen under the folder redirection policy
- target tab - Setting - basic
- target tab - target folder location - create a folder for each user under
the root path
- target tab - root path - \\myserver\users
- settings tab - ticked "move the contents of documents to the new location
- settings tab - ticked also apply to XP etc

Can anyone help?
