MyDocuments and Desktop mapped to network share... but mapping doesn't always kick in.
Windows 2003 SBS Server, recently setup as DC and file server for 12 users.
Users have local profiles. Allusers have their MyDocuments and Desktop mapped to server user shares, using the AD group policy. Works beautiful, the user goes to MyDocuments, the addressbar shows "\\MainSever\User\Francois
The problem: Francois just got a new workstation. Plugged it in, installed all software, joined domain, logged him in, go to MyDocuments, and I get... "C:\Documents and Settings\FrancoisL\My Documents\"... why?

Does it only happen the first time a user logs in to a new workstation? In my experience GP doesnt always take effect when you first login in right away or when you type gpupdate. But usually if you log in, off then back in it takes place.

u might need to the user account or the computer to where the group policy is applied

gpupdate/force, and logoff / logon again did not fix things.
Sensored2008, what do you mean I need the user account on the computer? Create a local account account? Copy the profile locally? Not sure I get it...

sorry i missed some words on that hehe,
u might need to ensure that the user account or the computer is joined to the group where the group policy is applied

New created users and computer account goes to the default placement and that not always where your group policy is applied
