Gents,

we are currently upgrading our domain from W2K to W2K3 domain. As we were
designing our new domain with GPO's we wanted to redirect My documents to the
users home folder(h:), wich have been requested from the helpdesk staff. The
reason for this, is that we have ca 12 Citrix terminal servers(newest
Presentation platform) where people logon to the desktop, rather then the
published application. People then leave documents in the My Documents on the
terminal server profile, altough we have said that they should save on their
own homefolder.

We started testing in our testlab, wich is similar to the real domain. We
noticed that when we published the GPO that sais redirect My Documents to h:\,
its only work on the local client pc(Windows XP) and not on the Windows 2000
terminal server. We have tested it on several test terminal servers in the
test domain, added new users, looked on the security properties but nothing
works. We then started to look for a default value in Windows 2000 server
that states where My Documents are. We have been looking for some time, but
we can not find any.

Does anyone have a clue?

Have a look at the Reg_Expand_Sz strings found in;
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Dave,

when I logged in as both administrator on the domain, and did the change on
the registry key that you said(put it to h:\ on personal key), but when I
logged in as a user on the terminal server the My Documents still went to the
user profile.
