Folder redirection and mapping Drives

by tino asprilla . Updated 17 years, 2 months ago

Hi Guys,

Just something I’ve noticed when implementing folder redirection via Group Policy.

The situation is as follows; I have roaming profiles set up for users; Within active directory on the profile tab for the user accounts I use a script on the logon script section to map home directories for each user ;the script maps the network drives as expected and works; Ive noticed when I intiated folder redirection for users “my documents” to be redirected to the users home directory through group policy it does not work unless I set the users home directory manually in the profile tab i.e connect H: \\server\sharename.

So when mapping home directories for users via a logon script folder redirection will not work , if I map the home directory manually it will.Now Im in a situation that I need to use logon scripts for mapping drives and I would like to implement folder redirection on users”my documents”.

Any suggestions?

Has anyone come across this?Any ideas for a solution?
