Windows Group Policy Folder Redirection
I am attempting to establish a new group policy setting that redirects client/user "Documents" to a network share.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732275.aspx
When I attempt to define the "Root Path" that will be utilized by the folder redirection I recieve the following error message:
"Unable to save the redirection information to the configuration file. The following error occurred: The system cannot find the path specified."
I am able to connect to the share and create folders within the share via its UNC path, which is what I am using as the policy setting: \\usgson123\UserData\
At this moment I have the shares and the NTFS permissions wide open just to rule out any security conflicts. If I can browse the path via explorer with the UNC then why won't Group Policy allow me to use it in Folder Redirection?

I removed the additional backslash and set "Create a folder for each user under the root path" and recieved the same error.
Does the resolution of the UNC path originate from the DC hosting the policy or from the client managing the policy? I only say this because the Windows 7 client that I am using can get to the path without issue.
