Conditional redirected start menu

I want to conditionally redirect my start menu based on
group membership and workstation build.
My login script says:

ifmember "thisgroup" and MS Office installed map B: to
\\server\share1

ifmember "thisgroup" and MS Office not installed map B: to
\\server\share2

Folder redirection says redirect start menu to B:

Folder redirection fails. I suspect because policy applies
before login script runs so B: does not exist.

Any help appreciated. No rubbish replies please.
 
Yes Mike that is true, Because folder redirection is processed early in the
logon process, drives mapped via logon scripts (including the homedrive for
folders other than My Documents), the folder redirection client side
extension is not able to redirect to these locations. At the time that
redirection takes place, the drives do not exist hence redirection fails.

Read the document below to understand how folder redirection works.

Mike,

GPO's are processed before the logon script launches so
you are correct. Have you thought about not redirecting
via group policy?
