What I dont understand, do home folders work the same way as folder redirection ?<br />
What if after disabling the folder redirection GPO the folders are not moved back to the original location because of the home folder setting ?

Could anyone please tell me which are the differences between home folder and redirecting folders through group policies ?<br />
<br />
I ve just found that many users a client's site have &quot;home folder&quot; set to a share on the server. (this was done in the past by another guy). Thats the same share Ive used to redirect my documents and desktop.<br />
<br />
Wonder if there could be any conflict by having these two settings set at the same time.<br />
Also, I had to disable folder redirection yesterday and I set the policy was to bring contents back to the original location (local folders on desktops machines)<br />
<br />
What would happen now ?!?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help

Folder redirection and home folders

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
