Redirect Favorites on Vista GPO
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. Opena GPO on anOU 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.
