About a year ago I was providie instructions on how to redirect the "My
Documents" folder on my PC only to the network:
1. Create a new Security Group and place the user(s) that you want to
redirect the My Documents folder for in the security group.
2. Open the Group Policy Management console.
3. Right click on the Default Domain Policy , and then click Edit .
4. Click User Configuration , click Windows Settings , and then click
Folder Redirection.
5. Right-click My Documents Folder , and then click Properties.
6. In the Settings box, click Advanced - Specify the location for
various user groups, and then click Add .
7. Click the Browse button next to the Security Group Membership box,
and then click the security group that you created in Step 1 from the
domain list.
8. Click Target Location Folder , and then use a UNC path to the
location where you want the My Documents folder to be located.
9. Click the Settings tab. By default, both of the following settings
are enabled:
When enabled, the Grant the user exclusive rights to My Documents check
box sets permissions on the folder for the User and System to full
permissions.
If you click to clear the check box, no change is made to the
permissions on the folder. When enabled, the Move the contents of My
Documents to the new location check box moves the contents to the new
location. If you click to clear the check box, then the contents remain
where they are.
10. In the Policy Removal box, click either Leave the folder in the new
location when the policy is removed, or Redirect the folder back to the
local userprofile location when the policy is removed. By default, the
first option is selected.
11. Click Apply , click OK , and then quit Group Policy Editor.
12. Bring up a CMD prompt and type "GPUpdate /force"
12. Have the user(s) log off and then log on again.
These instructions worked great. I would now like to put everything
back to the way it was so I attempted to follow these instruction in
reverese but the folder and files are still being redirected.
If anyone knows what I might be doing wrong or could provide proper
instructions in reverse it would be greatly apprecited :-)
