My Documents Redirect

We have several workstations both xp and win7 in our domain that have had the " My Document" folder properties changed to point to a network share.  I'm wanting to determine which ones without physically having to touch each one.

What is the best way to do this ?  

Thanks ..

You are likely doing this through a GPO.  First you need to identify which GPO is doing this.  Then look at the settings to determine what the path or drive letter is that you're using for the redirection.

The property modifications were made by hand on each workstation and not by a GPO which I'm now attempting to do.   I want to make sure to get all the documents back to the local profile before I push the folder redirect out to those users affected ......

Thanks ....

You can setup a login script that will run when a user logs on.
You need the registry key HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\currentcontrolset\explorer\shell folders\ keys within.

After each user logs, the script can write the information into a shared file.
You can then look at the file.
