Fixed it. After banging my head against the wall for days.
I had no settings defined in the Computer Configuration section of the
GPO, they were all defined in the User Configuration section. I had
the GPO linked to various _computers_ but not to any _users_. So
nothing in the GPO applied to a computer, and it wasn't even trying to
apply to any users.
When I linked the GPO to a users group in AD, all worked fine.
I feel really stupid. D'oh!

using Office 2007 and several using Office 2003. All users are on XP
Pro SP3 and fully patched. I have a test machine with Vista and Office

I have imported both Microsoft's Office 2003 and Office 2007 templates
into Group Policy Objects under Group Policy Management\Forest:
{me}\Domains\{me}. In the Office 2003 GPO in User Configuration
\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Office 2003\Shared Paths it's
enabled and points to a shared directory on the server. In the Office
2007 GPO in User Configuration (Enabled)\Administrative
Templates\Microsoft Office 2007 System\Shared Paths it's enabled and
points to the same path on the server.
In Group Policy Management\Forest: {me}\Domains\{me}\My
Business\Computers I have an SBS Notebooks object. Both the Office
2007 and Office 2003 GPOs are linked to that object.
See http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/JonF/GroupPolicy.png and
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y10/JonF/GroupPolicyassignment.png .
In Active Directory Users and Computers\{me}\My Business\Computers\SBS
Notebooks I have several computers listed, including the ones with
Office 2007
The ones with Office 2003 get the Workgroup Templates setting. The
ones with Office 2007 do not. According to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924460 the template locations should
be in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\General\UserTemplates
and
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\General\SharedTemplates;
neither of those keys are present.
The two computers with Office 2007 are getting some GP settings; for
example I can't turn on Windows Firewall because I have that disabled
somewhere in a GPO.
If I fill in the Workgroup Templates path in Word, then it sees the
templates on the server under My Templates and I can create a document
based on any of them. The templates directory is a subdirectory of the
user's shared directory, and all relevant accounts have appropriate
permissions; users read from and write to that particular subdirectory
tree all the time.
How do I push the shared templates location to Office 2007?
