Do you have offline files turned on? If so, it's looking in the cache at the old path. There is a resource kit tool, csccmd that can go into the cache and "repath" the files in it.

And actually on the second computer that was successful, it actually shows a successful redirection from the old domain location to the new domain location(So that is a surprise? oddly, it was successful on the desktop, but not successful on the MY documents folder) The My documents folder is still pointing to the old domain location Again, thanks for any ideas. From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Washington, Booker Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 10:34 AM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Another folder redirection question/scenario I have two domains, with no trust between the two. I have folder redirection setup on both domains. As I prepare to migrate users from one domain to the other, I have copied all of the files from their redirected network shares from one domains source location to the other domains ?new source? location. Two of my users, when I changed domains, their machines cleanly recognized that the Desktop and My Documents locations were pointing to different locations, and when the new domain policy applied, the computers picked it up and the transition was smooth. My third user, ONE, his computer had a problem joining the new domain. He took his computer out of domain 1 and put it in a workgroup. I then had to delete and add his computer account in domain 2, so that he could join domain 2. Upon joining domain 2 and picking up the Folder redirection policy, it tried to move the files from the source location in Domain 1, to the location in Domain 2. Obviously, he no longer has access to the source location in domain 1, thus Folder redirection failed. So?. One of my questions is, what part of the GPO recognizes the source location, and why would my other two computers ignore the old domain source location(As I expected) and just work with the location where the new domain says to point the Desktop and My documents. Secondly, I know my old domain Folder redirection GPO has the following settings for Desktop and My docs - Move the contents of MY Documents to the new location - Redirect the folder back to the local user profile location when policy is removed The new domain GP has the same settings as well Confused as to why one machine out of three would behave this way. It concerns me, as this is my test environment before I try the mass migration for my entire user base. Any ideas Thanks
