I'd like to set up folder redirection on our Server2003 for all users within
the network as well as users connecting through Citrix Terminal Server.

However, instead of directing everyone to one share on the server I'd like
them redirected to their personal share ("U:\" drive).
Am I correct in assuming that I will have to create new folders in each
users' share (my documents, desktop, application data, start menu...)? Is
there a less time-consuming workaround to this?

HOW do I set everyone's folders to redirect to their personal U: drive?
If a user logs onto a different machine will that machine's Outlook client
pull all settings (i.e. .nk2 files) from the application data folder on the
server?

Thanks in advance for your help.
