You may also want to check this article :

(which also contains a link to "Security Recommendations for Folder 
Redirection")

 

In the GPO just use \\server\share <file:///\\server\share>   -- that will do - 
if you save it, you'll see it automatically adds "%USERNAME%\Mes documents" to 
it (which makes \\server\share\%USERNAME%\Mes documents\ 
<file:///\\server\share\%25USERNAME%25\Mes%20documents\>  )

 

Allow Folder Redirection to create folders for you. When setting redirection 
policy for a group, use the path to the share, such as \\server\share. Folder 
Redirection then appends the user name and the folder name when the policy is 
applied

 

Another element to consider is your user account: is the user account in the 
same domain? What has been configured in the user account?

 

Regards,

Hendrikus

Are the user folders already present in that location? If not, you have to make 
sure users have the ability to create a folders there. Make sure you check both 
NTFS and share permissions.

Hello,

I have a GP in place to move the my documents folder to a folder specifed.

However, this does not work.

What I have configured is user configuration/ windows settings/ folder 
redirection/ my documents/ setting: Basic (redirect everyone's folder to the 
same location)
path:\\servername\share$\%username%

Under 

user configuration/ windows settings/ folder redirection/ options

grant user exclusive rights to my documents - enabled
move the contents of my documents to the new location - enabled
policy removal behavior - leave contents.

I do not know why this is not working.  The GP has been applied successfully 
but the path in the my document folder does not work.


Dave
