troubleshooting Question
My Group Policy Folder Re-direct fails to connect to the users shared folder
edgeit asked on
Hi, I have been scratching my head as to why a simple folder re-direction for a group of users is failing to work. Under User Config, Windows Settings, Folder Redirection, My Docs Properties. I have set it to Basic - Redirect everyone to \\Server\%username%$ which corresponds to a batch file run from User Config, Windows Settings, Scripts, Logon which has the line
net use h: \\server\%username%$. The batch file works fine connecting to the users folder but the folder re-direction does not!
I have also tried changing the My Docs - folder redirection to Basic - Redirect everyone to same location - Redirect to the users home directory. This also does not work
I have enabled the run command on the user group in question and have ran the command %homeshare%%homepath% and it connects to the users folder fine!
Any Suggestions are greatly received
