Redirected Folders

Hi all,

I am having an issue with a redirected folders group policy that I added to
our SBS 2000 server. This policy is in addition to the Default Domain Group
Policy. I did not alter that(DDGP). I was having everyone's My Documents
folder redirected to a network share on the server. The powers that be
decided that they did not want this for all employees at this time and
therefore I disabled the policy, however, it appears that everyone's folders
are still being synchronized to the server when they log out. Am I missing
something here? Do I need to delete the policy as opposed to disabling it?
Why has the disabling of the policy not stopped the synchronization of the
folders?

In that same policy, you chose the wrong advanced option "Leave the folder
in the new location when the policy is removed". Sounds like you wanted
"redirect the folder back to the original location when the policy is
removed".

So now maybe you want a group policy that redirects everyone's profile back
to local drive. Just change the path to
"C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\My Documents"

I'm surprised that someone did not want all of them being saved on the
server; my users don't notice the difference until they go to a second
computer and voila! their same files are on there as well.

Hi Alan,

I did check "redirect the folder back to the original location when the
policy is
removed" when I created it. For some reason it is still synchronizing
folders.....
any other ideas?
