I do it using %HOMESHARE% - although I apply folder redirection by script - using the GPO gui just wasn't flexible enough (or allowed enough other logic for me). I can't remember whether I had any issues by using an un-obvious environment variable such as %HOMESHARE% using the GPO mechanism, or not - 'cos it's been a good few years since I tested it - but it works fine by scripting it. There's nothing magic about using GPOs for folder redirection - at the end of the day, it's just registry values in HKCU. FWIW, the desktop people, here, now script folder redirection (rather than the GPO method) for normal PC users.

I was hoping to grab it from a variable though since I presently have home directories residing on more than one file server. We are going to be consolidating to a single box. I may have to wait until then to implement this policy.

There is probably something simple I am over looking here. Trying to redirect the My Documents folder to users' home directories instead of the default location in their profile. I have a GPO trying to enforce a policy to this end, but it the redirection keeps failing. The event log says the redirect fails due to invalid path. %homedrive%%homepath%,or %homeshare%%homepath%, or just specifying a drive letter (H:). None of that is working. What have you done to get it working? See anything obvious that I've missed?
