my docs redirection

hi
people have their my docs redirected to a real old server.

i have installed a new server and changed the path in the policy to the new server. some pcs work and some do not. some are still sending their data to the old server even though the policy is changed on all OU's. why would this be

Try running the command GPUpdate /enforce on the offending machine - this will enforce GPO to be applied to that machine.

check the offending machines ... people might have created shortcuts to the folders directly onthe server instead of going through My Documents ... this would bypass the redirection.

no they have no shortcuts. when you click into my documents the path changes to \\fileserver\etc  

one of the pcs is new and i have just recently changed it and there was no such shortcut
