GPO Redirected My Documents not displayed in Libraries

[bertster]

Hello,

 

New build Server 2012 & windows 7 desktops. We use GPO's to redirect the users "My Documents" to their Home folder on the network

 

When I do this by GPO, the Documents entry under Libraries, still points to the (now) empty one on the local disk in the user's profile. C:\users\default\Documents

 

However the 'My Documents' folder shows up in the users networked Home folder. Eventvwr shows that folder redirection is working successfully.

 

The folder is indeed being redirected, but not visible under Libraries.

 

I must be doing something wrong. Any Ideas?

Thanks

Try turning off grant user rights over the documents folder in the go!

Mandatory profiles, could be that the library is not allowing editing of locations due to permissions

What path have you set in the GPO for the My documents redirection?

It sounds like you need to edit the paths contained within the .library-ms files so that they point to the location of the redirected folders on your network. The following threads may help.
