Re: My Documents redirect stopped working on one user profile.



1. Run "gpupdate /force" on the client and then log off and log on again,
does it work?
No the problem remains

2. Check the permission on the shared folder for the user.
The user has the necessary permission

3. Does the issue occur if other user logs on to this workstation?
No other users can see their documents.

4. Does the issue occur if the user logs on to other workstation?
No - on another workstation the redirect works OK

5. Are there any related error messages on Event Log?

Thank you for this information but it is not a new setup. The error has only
just occurred on this machine after several months of use.

Redirection:

1. Expand Advanced Management in Server Management.
2. Expand Group Policy Management | Forest | Domains | Server name.
3. Expand OU you want to configure Folder Redirection and then right click
the GPO and select Edit.
4. In Group Policy Object Editor, expand User Configuration | Windows
Settings | Folder Redirection.
5. Right click My Documents and select Properties.
6. You can select redirect it in Target tab and Settings tab.

| I had a call from a user on a SBS network this morning to say he
couldn't

|
| When I login using his profile and right-click his My Documents folder
it
is
| showing as being directed to c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My
| Documents This can't be edited.
|
| All other users are being directed to the shared users folder My
Documents
| redirect as set in the server. This user is a member of the same groups
as
| the others. Nothing as far as I am aware has been changed on the server
or
| the client.
|
| I've tried gpupdate but that makes no difference.
