Correcting a bad group policy

by mreed3 . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I created a Group Policy to redirect the contents of the desktops and the my documents folder to folders I had created on a network share. I targeted 1 group as it had only 2 people in it. The policy was created on a file server not a DC and I created it at the global level by adding the new policy to the domain global policy (both of which are I’m told, serious mistakes). It did not restrict itself to the 1 group I targeted but started creating folders for three other people from wholly different groups. I deleted the policy. Hunted down the folders I created and deleted them and crossed my fingers that no real damage was done. It wasn’t however the folders I created to store My Docs and the Desktop keep reappearing. How can I stop this from recurring? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
