SBS 2008 Redirected Folders proble,

I have a SBS 2008 server with one user whose redirected folders are not working. He does not have access to his desktop or his my docs folders on the server. I have tried numerous times to grant him rights are take ownership and nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is that user a part of domain ... i mean does he logs into the domain ?
All updates are applied and the OS is with latest SP ?
Any events in the App log on the client machine ?

You can try this but a bit lengthy.
1. Disjoin the users machine from domain.
2. Reset the Computer object in ADUC and Rejoin it.

The user is a member of the domain in the logs and all updates are applie and the SP is the latest as well. The problem is not with the users machine because this happens on any machine this user logs into. It has to do with the users account and the fact that he does not have rights to his own folder therefore redirected folders do  not work on any machine in logs into
if you run gpmc does it shows that with this user that particular policy is working ..... did you try to move his account into a different OU.

What are the consequences of completely removing the user and then recreating them?
