Curtis,

If the folders are being redirected successfully to the designated folder for some users, then the configuration of the GPOs and links to
them is probably OK.

If you log on to a workstation on which the folder redirection is working for domain userA as domain userB, does folder redirection now
work for domain userB?

What is the difference between the workstations which are working and the ones which are not? Their network connections need to be
configured the same except for their IP and their names (same DNS, WIN Servers. Each machine has to have client for Microsoft Networks,
File and printer sharing for Microsoft networks and Internet Protocol enabled on their network connections.) The workstations need to be
members of the domain. Are all workstations running the same Operating System?

Best Regards,

We are using a GPO to redirect My Documents to a user folder on the network
on a Windows 2000 domain. Some of the workstations are redirected fine but
others are not. I have made sure they have rights to the redirected folder
on the network. Also I have verified the groups and ou's. However, I don't
quite understand how to link and enforce the GPO. Could this be
something that is causing new workstations not to accept the GPO?

Curtis
