RE: Windows 2003 Folder Redirect Stopped working.

This appears to be a simple permissions issue. Please verify NTFS, SHARE
permissions and MEMBER OF groups for a user with failure. Verify permissions
are the same for a working user as a failing user. I would also verify
communication to DC by running "gpupdate /force" (run without " marks and
works with Windows XP and I believe Vista. Windows 2000 uses secedit
command). Also please post any other network and Kerberos errors or warnings.

SETTINGS
The redirection settings: Basic

Users dont have exclusive rights (Used article 288991 to setup rights), this
works for everyone else
I have selected move contents of MyDocuments
i have selected Redirect the folder back to the local userprofile location
when policy is removed.

Thanks in advance.
