Re: GPO - Getting rid of My Documents

This is probably even easier than you think. In the Server Mgmt Console, go
to the Backup page and click Configure My Documents Redirection. On the
first screen that pops up, click More Information to see what that wizard
will do. That wizard should seamlessly configure everything and move the
documents when the user logs in. (For users with large My Documents
folders, you might prepare them for the time it'll take for the docs to
move). If you don't like the way the wizard does it, you can configure it
manually in group policy - it's fairly straightforward, but post back if you
have questions.

This is all fairly transparent to the users - they'll still click the My
Documents links anywhere they do now, just that it'll be pointing to the
server rather than to a local My Documents folder (which will be gone).

Hi,

I know there is a way but I am not sure what it is or how exactly to
do what i need to do.

How can I get rid of My Documents completely? I want to force
everyone to always save on their network drive or their local
computer. Is it possible to remove My Documents completely, move
everything that is currently in My Documents to their personal
directory in a folder (probably a script?), and then make the default
place they save to this network share?

Thanks for any help.

Kevin
