Hi Ron, 
Run a GPUpdate /force on the server and workstations. 
Restarting is not enough. 
Hope that helps 
Olaf

<div>
Check that they are not using roaming profiles int Active directory.
</div>

<div>
IN your GPO you should have 
&quot;Small Business Server Folder Redirection&quot; 
In tho Console tree, double-click Folder Redirection to Display My Documents 
Right Click My Documents, and then click Properties. 
In the Setting box, on the Target tab, select Not Configured 
 
Run gpupdate /force once or twice on the client 
Reboot 
 
If all else fails run gpresult and output the contents to an html file and share with us.

<div>
thanks DrikMare I will try that this morning. 
 
Will all the files revert back to local PCs when the GPO is applied or shall I perform a back up just in case?
</div>

<div>
Perform the backup just in case. 
Under the GPO there is another TAB where you have different options for the documents. 
Move; Copy; Create new..

I don't see a folder redirection GPO instead there was a script instead.

<div>
its not the script. 
 
Can you expand &quot;My Business and Domain Controllers&quot; from GPO. 
 
It is also possible that we are not seeing the GPO because you disabled the Setting from SBS config.

Hi, 
 
For XP you need the &quot;Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions&quot; installed before they can read the Preference Settings. 
Please install: 
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3628" rel="ugc">http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3628</a> 
Then run GPupdate /force again. 
See if that helps? 
Olaf

<div>
Olaf, 
 
Just to make sure we are on the same page. 
 
By installing the &quot;Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions&quot; on the XP client, will allow me to see the which GPO has &nbsp;the folder redirection settings enabled? 
 
Thanks.

Hi There, 
 
I have a small domain with DC SBS 2003 and a couple on windows XP machines running folder redirections. 
 
I would like to disable the folder redirection. I &nbsp;opened GPO management on SBS 2003 but I couldn't find a GPO with folder redirection settings. 
 
I went to Server Manager and I could see a option where folder redirection was enabled, &nbsp;I changed it to 'do not use folder redirection'. 
 
I restarted the server and both station but the folder redirection is still active. 
 
Can you please advise how to disable it? 
 
Thanks, 
Rod

how to disable folder redirection on SBS 2003

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
