Redirect Favorites on Vista GPO

Question

Hi

We are synchronising the %userprofile%\documents path with a file-server.

Now we used windows xp before and we have redirected the favorites to the following path:

%userprofile%\my documents\system\favorites

But now on Windows Vista the redirection doesn't work.

I'm using the admx files over an dc-server.

These are my configurations:

GPO:

User Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Folder Redirection -> Favorites

Setting: Basic- Redirect everyone's folder to the same location.

Target: Redirect to the following location

C:\users\%username%\documents\system\favorites

But that doesn't work.

How can I configure the redirection of the favorites folder that it really works?

Can anybody help me?

Hi,

You can use following steps outlined:

1. Create a shared folder with full control permission on dc-server.

2. Open a GPO on an OU which include the users which need to redirect folder and then go to User Configuration-> Windows Setting-> Folder Redirection-> My Documents.

3. Select Basic in setting drop down list and select Creat a folder for each user under the root path.

4. Type in \\<DCservername>\<shared folder name>

5. Log off and log on the specific user on Windows Vista to check if the GPO has been applied.
