I'm trying to get the "My Documents" folder for every
login to redirect to our new Windows 2003 domain
controller. I created a new group policy on a new OU and
edited the group policy item. I went to [user
configuration] [windows settings] - [folder redirect] and
did a "properties" on [My documents].

On the "target" tab, I selected [Basic - Redirect
everyone's folder to the same location] and also selected
[Create a folder for each user under the root path] and
for root path I typed \\servername\sharename\%username%.

When I login as a new user of that OU, and do a properties
on "My Documents", the path still reflects "c:\documents
and settings\username....."

This has worked on Windows 2000 in the past...any ideas?
