Windows Server 2008 R2 Folder Redirection Issue
Hey everyone,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 server hosting my active directory. Im trying to setup folder redirection however, it isnt working. The setup i did was doing a home directory folder under my user name. P:\\server\userdocs$\ . It was working fine and then all of a sudden it stopped redirecting the folders. I can see the P:\ drive fine under computer but, when you copy a file to documents, it doesn't send it to the P:\ drive. I have set in my GPO on folder redirection for Documents to go to home directory and pictures, music, and videos is set to follow documents. I have no idea whats wrong with it? What do i do?

The Redirected folders store the paths here....
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
Are they local or blanked out?

I deleted the gpo for the default domain policy and started from scratch. It seemed to fix everything . Thanks for your help.
Most commonly it is a permissions issue....
