Re: My Pictures redirection is grayed out

It's quirky - this setting is only available during the initial setup of the
policy. Once the GPO is created it becomes grayed out. You have to create a
new policy.

Create a new policy for redirecting My Documents using Advanced redirection
and select "Do Not Specify . . ." for the My Pictures. Finish the policy and
exit out of the GP editor.

Right click the policy and select edit. This time when you look under
Folder Redirection, My Documents will have a sub-folder of My Pictures where
you can define the settings for this folder.

Sorry, I've been juggling several projects at one time. I set folder
redirection for My Documents to Advanced and set up a group that I put my
test user in. My Pictures is still grayed out. Any other ideas?

I am trying to set up network based home directories and am running into an
issue with folder redirection. I need to redirect My Documents, but because
of limited server space, I need to exclude things that are not critical
(personal music, pictures and videos). I've redirected My Documents using
Group Policy and using the Basic setting. This works fine, but under the
settings tab, the My Pictures Preferences section is grayed out. I've
created a custom Admin template to redirect My Music, My Videos and My
Pictures, but the event log shows that My Pictures have been redirected back
to the network location. I've tried every combination of settings that I can
think of to make the My Pictures preferences section active, but nothing
works. Please help me resolve this issue.
