Folder redirection issues (WinXP) |
|
|
I've set up a policy that redirects My Documents to %HOMESHARE%\My Documents,
but for some reason, it fails to work. Eventvwr says that the "expanded path
could not be found", but typing %HOMESHARE%\My Documents in the Run box finds
the correct folder no problem.
I have also tried separating users by the server they log on to, and
redirecting to \\server1\%username%$\My Documents (which again, works in the
Run box) but then I get EventID 112 (Failed to perform redirection of folder
My Documents. The files for the redirected folder could not be moved to the
new location) or sometimes a Temporary User logon.
Pemissions seems to be fine, and replicating the "automatic" task manually
seems to work.
Any ideas?

Select Create a folder for each user under the root path
Rather than having to enter a UNC path such as
\\server\share\%username%\MyDocuments, the administrator can simply type in
the path to the share such as \\server\share, and Folder Redirection will
automatically append the username and the folder name when the policy is
applied. This removes the need for administrators to be familiar with
environment variables, and minimizes the chances of errors and spelling
mistakes
The folder redirection client side extension is only able to process two
environment variables: %username% and %userprofile%. Other environment
variables such as %logonserver%, %homedrive% and %homepath% will not work
with folder redirection.
Fore more inforamtion have a look at the User Data and Settings Management:

My problem is that users are set up on one of three servers, with folders of
the form \\servername\username$. On the machine, this is
d:\userdata\USERLEVEL\XX\username where USERLEVEL is "pupil", "teacher", etc
and XX is 00, 01, 02, etc.
I do not wish to move any folders.
I know I can share 00, 01, 02 etc. and then access them as "\\servername\00",
is I use the "Create Documents" setting, will I lose existing folders or
files?

I have checked that spelling is correct.

But even using only these, it still doesn't work.
Thanks.
