Thanks Richard.

I left a post in the suggested NG but I'm here to tell you, I'm about to
learn about junction points and everything else about SYSVOL I'm afraid
since I renamed, deleted, grafted, imported, exported, backed up, restored,
and everything else but fix the flipping problem. I don't have a SYSVOL
folder created by Windows on any of my systems!!!!

Time to hunker down. I will need SYSVOL junction points, locations,
permissions, sources, destinations, etc. If you know where I can obtain a
white paper I'd surely appreciate your efforts!

I'm going to my corner now to rock myself to sleep! ; )
