RE: OT Group Policies on W2k Domain Controller Help

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

John,

I'm not using server yet - I run XP Workstation on my "Server"
box at
the moment.

I use offline folders on my Notebook, both machines have a username
"Tim" set-up.

Proceed as follows:

On the server select the documents folder you want to use, and set it up
as a network share in its own right. (mines called Tim's documents)

On the notebook select the properties of My documents and set the
location to \\<server>\Tim's documents.

Right click it again and select make available offline.

I know its not what you're trying to do, but it may help!

Tim.

Subject: [ukha_d] OT Group Policies on W2k Domain Controller Help

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
