Hi Craig,

 
That’s correct, make sure you have selected “Create a folder for each user 
under the root path” as well (above RootPath text field)

Hi Ian Thank you for the quick response. So how i understand you is like this : 
 What you are saying is that (bear in mind that i am working remotely on my Win 
Serv 2003 when setting this up ) instead of typing D:\MyDocRedirection (which 
refers to the local D drive on the server) as the root path i need to change it 
to \\servername\MydocRedirection and i should be set then hey - do i understand 
you correct?

Hi Craig,

 
You will want to make sure you are using a UNC path for folder redirection, if 
you were to set it how you’ve done it - when the user logs in they will be 
looking for their MyDocuments in the D: drive of there PC (probably a CD 
drive). 
 
During the configuration of the root folder for your redirected my documents 
you would have had to share it (hidden/not hidden) use this share name for the 
UNC path example for GPO > \\servername\MydocRedirection or 
\\servername\MyDocRedirection$ (if hidden)
 
Hope this helps/makes sense.
 
Any more q’s let me know
Ian

[gptalk] Problem to redirect My Documents for all the users
 
Hi all This is the first time that i'm trying to configure Folder Ridirection 
and i followed article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc782799.aspx 
as a guide. However if i do it the way of the article i get a "Warning" right 
at the end when i click Finish. I click No on the warning as i do not know what 
it mean. The warning says "The target path is not a UNC path. If this is not a 
valid local path at the client (which it isn't because the document told me to 
put in there the path on the server where everyone's documents must go to so it 
shows D:\MydocRiderection) , folder redirection will fail. Are you sure you 
want to use this path as the target? Y/N Question: Why is it giving me this 
error? Thank you for the help
