MS File shares read as My Documents
Hi
We have a file server where some of the staff home directories have changed to being shown as My Documents .
Normally the Netbios path is
\\server\sharename\first.n
Now when I look on my directory path on the server I have loads of folders that are
e:\users\staff\My Documents (Where staff is the sharename and the folder name)
If I drill down in a Dos Box they are still e:\users\staff\firstname.s
Some sort of alias thing has happened, any ideas how I can fix it.
TIA
Jo

What profile path?
Also this happened to existing users!
Also this happened to existing users!
This happened to me if redirection of My documents was set incorectly.
Set is as follows:
Folder Redirection
Basic - Redirect Everyone's folder to the same location
Target folder location: Create folder for each user under the root path
Root Path: \\server\sharename\ ... path to share with all users folders
--
I guess your Target Folder location is set to Redirect to the user's home directory

Profile path is under properties for any AD user where (i suspect 'username' is replaced by 'surname,lastname').
