Hi Bob,

I think you can use the following Group Policy entries for folder
redirection and logon scripts.

Folder Redirection:
User Configuration\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection

Logon Script:
User Configuration/Scripts (Logon/Logoff)/Logon

For more Group Policy troubleshooting info, please refer to the following
White Paper.
