Hi Bruno,
You'll have to use an unmanaged policy to do that due to limitations in the
flexibility of the standard folder redirection mechanism.

Eg.
------CATEGORY "Folder Redirection"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell
Folders"
    POLICY "Redirect the My Documents Folder"
        PART "My Documents Folder PAth"   EDITTEXT REQUIRED  EXPANDABLETEXT
             DEFAULT "%UserProfile%\My Documents"
             VALUENAME "Personal"
        END PART
    END POLICY
                
    POLICY "Redirect the Application Data Folder"
        PART "Application Data Folder PAth"   EDITTEXT REQUIRED
EXPANDABLETEXT
             DEFAULT "%UserProfile%\Application Data"
             VALUENAME "AppData"
        END PART
    END POLICY

    POLICY "Redirect the Desktop Folder"
        PART "Favorites Folder PAth"   EDITTEXT REQUIRED  EXPANDABLETEXT
             DEFAULT "%UserProfile%\Desktop"
             VALUENAME "Desktop"
        END PART
    END POLICY
                
    POLICY "Redirect the Cookies Folder"
        PART "Cookies Folder PAth"   EDITTEXT REQUIRED  EXPANDABLETEXT
             DEFAULT "%UserProfile%\Cookies"
             VALUENAME "Cookies"
        END PART
    END POLICY

    POLICY "Redirect the Favorites Folder"
        PART "Favorites Folder PAth"   EDITTEXT REQUIRED  EXPANDABLETEXT
             DEFAULT "%UserProfile%\Favorites"
             VALUENAME "Favorites"
        END PART
    END POLICY
                                
END CATEGORY ;Folders

Subject: [THIN] My Documents


We are currently running Metaframe XP3 on Windows 2003. I was wondering what
the best way to redirect the users My Documents folder to another location.
I know you can do it via the GPO, but it seems that when I but a drive
letter in the GPO, it never seems to map quickly enough.
 

I would like to use a drive letter instead of UNC because are firm has
standardize drive letters and all the file server are in different locations
but the drive letters remain the same.

 

Thanks for your help in advance.
