I have a question about using a GPO for redirecting the My Documents folder
to a Network share and also setting up a Profile Path from within the users
account properties. Can both of these paths point to the same location on
the network share? Right now I have both setup going to different locations
for testing purposes and it appears to me that both have the same data in
them. I am trying to cut down on storage space for each user if possible.

Thanks
