Two Servers with Same Name & My Folder Redirection Challenge.



Here's a fun one...

Have a laptop that needs to travel between two locations: LOCATION1 &
LOCATION2

They have two different SBS domains: DOMAIN1 & DOMAIN2

Don't need to login to DOMAIN2, however. Just DOMAIN1 at LOCATION1

But SBS2K3 server names are the same at both locations: SERVER

My Documents folder redirection and offline folders is enabled on both
domains: \\SERVER\USERS\USERNAME\MY DOCUMENTS

One domain has lots of docs, the other none.

As you can suspect, logging into one domain with lots of docs then into
the other causes the docs to synch then disappear!

I tried using a fully qualified domain name at the main location:
\\SERVER.DOMAIN1.LOCAL\USERS

I've confirmed the Group Policy in BOTH the server and the laptop show
the FQDN, but the Target Folder on the laptop still shows
\\SERVER\USERS\USERNAME\MY DOCUMENTS.

I was hoping it'd use the FQDN so that when it goes to LOCATION2 and
logs into DOMAIN1, it knows NOT to synch since it wouldn't find
\\SERVER.DOMAIN1.LOCAL

What can I do to force the target folder in the laptop to specify
\\SERVER.DOMAIN1.LOCAL instead of just \\SERVER?
