Can you post a screen shot of your policy?<br />
<br />
If you run gpresult /R do see the GPO being applied?

Here is a shot of the settings, its a pretty standard setup. &nbsp;From what I understand this is normal behavior and there needs to be some kind of modification to the standard server 2003 gp for folder redirection when using windows 7 or vista clients. &nbsp;The policy runs but does not get properly applied.<br />

I have no clue why this happen but i worked around with dfs setting on Windows 2003 server then the redirection worked nicely

<div>
Could you elaborate on the DFS settings you modified? &nbsp;Anyone else have a suggestion? &nbsp;I thought this problem would have a fairly straight-forward solution as lots of people should be dealing with it.

I am running a server 2003 domain and have just purchased some Windows 7 machines. &nbsp;Most group policy settings work but folder redirection does not. &nbsp;I assume this has to do with the difference in pathing between XP and Vista/Windows 7. &nbsp;Is there an easy way to get this to work? &nbsp;Perhaps a .adm file I can import into the GPO settings?

Folder redirection - Server 2003 DCs with Windows 7

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

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.
