| | Folder Redirection in Vista via GPO creates double folders...? Hi, I am having a problem /annoyance with Folder redirection Vista. It is working great in my mixed environment except for on the Vista clients. The folder do not combine and therefore there is a local documents folder and a redirected documents folder. I can not have this confusion for my users. Is there a way to have this not happen. Thanks - Nik |

In addition, to how to plan for roaming profiles, you will find information about editing and moving the folder contents. See - Managing Roaming User Data Deployment Guide http://technet2.microsoft.com/Window....mspx?mfr=true In addition, to how to plan for roaming profiles, you will find information about editing and moving the folder contents. -solon fox |

| | Re: Folder Redirection in Vista via GPO creates double folders...? I've read that document, it's sitting in front of me. I was able to get rid of the extra documents folder by selecting the "move contents" check box, I had initial problems with the that selection with my XP test client so I unchecked it. I am still experiencing double of the pictures, videos, and music folders. I've been trying different variations in settings with this folders but no luck, any other ideas?

| | Re: Folder Redirection in Vista via GPO creates double folders...? Sorry, no ideas other than starting over for the problem folders. It would seem to me that selecting 'move contents' would have the same effect on the media folder contents. Could it be that the doubles are only from C:\Users\Public\Pictures, etc? -solon fox On Jun 10, 4:00*pm, lca1630 <lca1...@xxxxxx> wrote: Quote: > I've read that document, it's sitting in front of me.
