Question : Redirect users desktop to network path
We currently allow users to use profiles but we want to move away from this. We still would like users to be able to save to the desktop and to copy favorites and if possiable recent documents.
Does anybody know how to redirect a users desktop/favorites to a network path in a windows 2003/XP domain environment?
Answer : Redirect users desktop to network path
Try this:
1- Expand the User Configuration\Windows settings\Folder Redirection
2- Right click on Desktop and select Properties
3- Select Advanced
4- Click on Add
5- Add your Security Group that this policy will apply to
6- Leave the Target folder location as seen
7- Enter the root path i.e. \\server\sharename
8- DO NOT ENTER THE USER'S NAME, step 6 will handle this
9- logoff/on a user for the setting to take effect Sometimes you might have to run this command before logging off "gpupdate /target:user /force /logoff"
NOTE!!!! make sure you backup the user's profile FIRST or else any existing data may be lost
