I've asked this once before (maybe not here?). I want to do this for our domain (W2K) but I need to:

1) test it out and
2) know what to tell users to expect to see (if anything)

I support a Hospice and the vast majority of our users are nurses, the vast majority of which are, to put it kindly, "computer challenged".

If I change the GPO settings, when are the "My Documents" files moved? Immediately or when they next log on?

Can I change the GPO, try it out with a test userid and reverse the GPO w/o impacting the other users? (kinda the same question)

What, if anything, will the user see when they log on after the change? Will they know that anything happened? If they see *anything* different, I have to prepare some documentation and, possibly, a training session (we call it an "In-Service"). It may seem unnecessary, but one time I changed the *label* of an icon on the Citrix desktops from "Misys Homecare Client" to "Misys Client" (icon remained a unique purple icon with the word "Misys") and we were inundated the next day with "What happened to the Misys icon???"....

Thanks in advance, folks.........

Regards,
Hank Arnold

Use folder redirection for My Documents (and perhaps, with more caution, Desktop) so that their data is stored in, say, their home directory on your file server....
