Re: One Users My Documents no longer redirected.

There's got to be some reason why the group policy is not getting applied to
that laptop. If you're using wireless, you could try connecting to the
wired network to see if that makes a difference. Open a cmd prompt and run
gpupdate /force. If the policies don't apply correctly, the system should
log an error that will point you to the cause.

You can also do Start -> Run -> Rsop.msc, which will run a wizard showing
the policies applied to that user and computer. You should then be able to
find the redirection policy to see what's applying.

Does this user have a desktop PC on your LAN, and if so, do his documents
from that PC get redirected normally? Is the user account in the same
active directory OU as the other users whose redirection works? If not,
either move the account, or link the redirection GPO to the other OU.

Hello,

We use a group policy to redirect user's My Documents folders to a user
share on the network. We do not use roaming profiles and are happy with
the
current arrangement.

I have one user whose My Documents are not appearing on a specific client
laptop. If he logs on to any other computer, his My Documents on the
share
are accessible.

The Target on this laptop defaults to the "administrator/my documents" on
the local drive. I have tried to manually type the correct path, but it
will
not allow me.

I have also tried to disconnect the client laptop from the domain, delete
and recreate the client computer on SBS and re-attach the laptop to the
domain using the /connectcomputer script.

This has not worked.

I have created a temporary local drive mapping to the user share folder,
so
the user can access his files.

How can I get the correct access to the redirected folder or.
Is there a way to manually access the redirected folder.
