I am trying to set a GPO for each OU on my 2000 Advanced Server but could not get it to work properly.
Here are what I did:
1) created a share folder on the server with SMB share permission for EveryOne (default)
2) created a GPO for OU-Accounting and set it to redirect the “My Documents” folder to the share folder on the server
3) add user accounts to the OU-Accounting
here is my problem:
When I log users on to a Workstation, folder redirection does not work. The folder does not create automatically under the sharefolder on the server. The setup in the GPO is \\serverame\sharefolder\%username%
have to create the folder manually and change the path of “My Documents” on the user laptop to point to \\serverame\sharefolder\%username%
manually.
Can you tell me what I am missing or doing wrong. This server is running parallel with another server in the domain. I am trying to move everyone from the old server to this new server. I have about 200 users and not really want to have to do this for every single one of them. Many thanks to any help/suggestions
