Hi,

I followed the procedure described in the Knowledge base
article (216463)about redirecting the My Documents folder,
but I have no results. When I right click the My Documents
icon on the desktop it still shows the local path for the
directory....

Did I miss something here ? What else I need to do so the
GP could be used ?

Thanks,

FC
 
Perhaps you are not getting this policy?

Are the clients getting Userenv 1000 amd SCECLI 1202 errors? If so what are
the details on thoses errors?

Also if you take one client and try to manually change the path does it work
that way? And can the client create and delete documents in the configured
path?

Implement userenv logging on the client and it may help shed some light on
this issue:

If a Slow Link is detected the folder redirection polices will not apply:
