RE: My Documents Redirection error

Hi Steve,

Thanks for all your help and I will post a new message next time.

My first issues with user’s shares has been resolved. Also I was able to
redirect My documents. However I had problems moving the exchange DB and log
file. I haven’t had a chance to try this again but will in the next few days
and post exactly at what step I had the problem.

Thanks again for all your help and if we can keep this thread opened for a
few more days that would be great!!!

Cheers
Richard
