This is a common error. It deals with the the ownership of the My Documents
folder. For some reason with the new Windows 2003 Folder redirections that
were added, the My Documents has to be CREATED by the User on 1st logon so
that they own the folder. Now for me I create the My Documents folder in the
User Manager when the users are created and therefore the owner is
Administrator of the My Documents folder itself.

You can do 1 of these things.

1> Redirect based on group (which for some reason works for me and I have
2400 users redirected where all the My Documents are owned by Admin)
2> Make the user an Owner of their My Documents.
3> Under Folder Redirection - Untick the Grant Ownership check box.

That should fix it. It isn't a Vista problem as I don't run Vista clients yet.

Something to note though - Vista does NOT support Windows XP profiles. They
are not compatable.
