The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

my Documents target location shortcut location has changed and I can't key in new location

Zones: Active Directory, Windows 2000 Operating System, Windows 2000 Server

Tags: microsoft, offline files and sync, 2000, my documents target location can't be changed to new location

Old server crashed and moved user profiles to new location. In AD, changed the home folder to the new location and a drive is mapped to the location. All is well and shows up in My Computer. HOwever, laptops that had offline files configured for thier MY Documents folder is still trying to find the old server. IN the properites of My Docs, I am unable to change the target location. I can't key anything into the target location bar. So users are still using their my Documents and the folders on the new server do not have the updated data. How do I get the offline files in MY Docs to point to the new location and synchronize the data. I really don't want this to go on much longer because the difference in the data will be increasing with each day they can't sync.
I thought of just copying the My Docs to the new location, but that will not address the issue of the MY Docs still trying to snyc with the old server location and slowing down performance.
I have tried unchecking the settings in Offline files, but it just keeps going back to the old location.
any suggestions on how to get a new locaiton on MY DOCs.
I do not use Folder redirection in AD. All was working just fine until the server problems.
