Can I redirect only certain user folders in my domain, or is it all or nothing? If so how would I go about it?

I have certain users in my domain that I need to redirect to a nas device, is this possible or is it all or nothing? I've serached MS and cant seem to find anything that allows me to "choose" who I want to redirect.

Which user folders are you referring to?  Local folders (like My Documents, Start Menu, Favorites, etc) or home directories?  

In either case, you should be able to get it done with a GPO applied only to the users you want to redirect.
You should check if your NAS supports NTFS - most of them uses ext3 or other linux file system. I wouldn't use NAS if I were you, better buy 2x 1TB hdd for 100$ each and build software or use hardware SATA raid in server...

Thanks for all of your help. Putting these users in an OU and redirecting only that OU via GPO worked great for me, the security filtering & advanced redirection are also great solutions for the next phase of my organization.

Thanks again!
