RE: OT Group Policies on W2k Domain Controller Help

["P Murgatroyd" <pmurgatroyd@xxxxxxx>]

John,

Working with the AD in large multinational organisation we probably do
it slightly more complicated than you want but this is how we do it on
our AD...

We create a MD redirection security group, for example in Madrid, its
called  ESMD-GPO-TV2-SPMDSRV001-MD (but that's not really important..)

We then create a policy for redirection, just like you have, except we
create an advanced one, using the security group descibed above (some
sites have more than one file server).  As you you have done, all is set
up in the same way and then applied.  What you then need to do is click
on properties of the GPO and click the permissions tab, from here you
need to add the MD security group and at the bottom of the permissions
listing, you will see words to the effect of "Apply Group Policy"
this
needs to be ticked, I believe that there are two options, one is apply
and the other is deny

It's a while since we set up MD redirection up, but that's all the
details you should need.

Give it a go and see what happens.

Hope that helps

Paul

Sorry for the OT post, this is doing my head in

I am wanting to re-direct my docs on workstations to a network drive so
that my wife & I can get to our documents regardless of which system we
login to, I might also use profiles and I would prefer to use
re-direction so that the my docs is not copied every time we
login/logout, on my laptop I also want to set my docs to be a offline
folder. We have four computers in this setup, w2k server, Xp Pro
workstation, Xp Pro Laptop, Multiboot workstation usualy w2k pro.

I have followed what I remember is the correct procedure but it just
does not work, I have done this:-

Created a network share called userdata.( just created and done noting
else with it, I have not made the subfolders and I hve not touched the
rights in any way)

On the server I have opened up active directory users and computers, rt
click on the domain, select properties, clicked on group policy, clicked
on edit to edit the default policy, under user config I expanded windows
settings, then expanded folder redirection, rt click on my documents
select properties and pu this into target
//silver/userdata/%username%/My Documents I have selected redirect
everyone's folder

Applied and exited

Created a new user, logged in and saved a file in my documents, logged
out and looked on the server to see if the directory was created and it
was not !

Any help please

John
