This guide will help you setup folder redirection on Server 2003:

I use folder redirection on all my servers; it  allows users to easily use other computers and to still access their files. This also makes backing up user data very easy.
Good luck.

Thanks for the link, but i fallowed everything and still it did not create the folders automatic, and the GPO are linked fine plus after a log in with the user i try to go access the server with the share folder and i can create any folder withing this forder.

I realized that it did it locally when the administrator loged in, but if a user log in with his computer it did not create the redirect folder in the server.
You did it to the local policy? not the domain policy? If you want this change to effect everyone make sure you do it to the domain policy. Let me know if it works now.

how do i know if is local or domain?, because i went to my group policy management and then i create a GPO in Domain controller and then i linked to my gpo, and then in case i linked the domain.local.
