Ok heres the scoop. I have successfully done this in the past but now for some reason I cant get this to work .. I want to redirect the My Documents folder to the Server using GPO's. I have a Win 2K server box FRESHLY formatted all updates done ADS installed a XP Pro Box on the domain. I set folder redirection on the server and I log in and it gives me a runtime error 75 path/File access error...... I have the Home share Everyone full access and when I created the users i used under the profile tab \\zeus\home\%username% so it automatically created all necessary security permissions .. supposeatly.. Some one help

This is a tech. problem, in search of a solution.

It properly belongs in "Technical Q&A," not in "Discussions." Please re-post there.

Not only will you be more likely to attract the attention of those seeking to provide answers, but you will also make it easier for those seeking discussions to find such.

Thank you.

it would be in GP.. under user settings.. windows settings, folder redirection.. then you must have a file server running so your can map things like My Documents and Desktop to diffrent places..

for example. .your alies for mapping a user would look like this

\\server\user_store\%username%\desktop

"note that the desktop and username will be automatically filled in for you depending on your choices"

I have heard (but not confirmed) that the user must be the "Owner" of the folder that is being shared out or you will get permission errors. As my corporate HQ will not allowed us to use folder redirection (for this reason), I can't say if this is the source of your problem.
