My Doc's redirect syntax

I am trying to redirect the My Documents folder to a
network share. Currently we have the users profiles mapped
to their H: drive. I would like to have the my documents
redirected to H:\My Documents but I am having trouble with
the syntax. In the GPO what should my syntax be?

Either:
\\server_name\share_name\%username%\My Documents

or

H:\My Documents

or something else?
Thanks for the tips in advance.

I presume you are using the "redirect my documents" in Active Directory; i
would suggest:

\\servername\sharename\%username%

No need to add the "my documents" bit on the end. It works fine for me.

try not to use the same sharename as the profiles
though... might cause confusion. for example if your
profiles are maped to \\servername\profiles$\%username%
you can map your documents to \\servername\docs$\%
username%.
