Folder Redirection?

I downloaded the guide and created a GPO. I set it all up and it appears ok.
I made the GPO Enforced.

I selected the two users that I wanted the GPO to apply to and removed the
authenticated users group.

I rebooted the server and also the user machine.
I logged in and it has created a lot more links under the user folder, but
they all link to locations on the local machine and not on the server?
I have set the server location correctly.

Do I have to manually create the user folder in the server share?

RE: Folder Redirection?

You have to create a share on the server, and redirect users to that share,
provided you give them sufficient priveledges to write to it.

You should usually create an OU for Vista users and workstations and apply
the GPO's for them at that level, and then run gpedit.msc on the workstation:
you will be able to determine if you are receiving that setting, along with
looking in Vista's application log.
