Documents Folder redirection

[Marshall_IT]

Hi all,

 

It's late on a Sunday and I've been trying to figure this out for a little while now, probably just need some sleep but i thought i'd leave the question here for now in hope that someone can answer it by the time i get round to it again tomorrow evening.

 

I currently have users home folder set to '\\domain\shares\home\yrof14\%username%', '\\domain\shares\home\yrof13\%username%', etc... so a different folder for each year under the home level.

 

Now the 'My Documents' folder is currently set to redirect to home folder which creates the 'My Documents' to be displayed rather than the username.

 

Now i want to change the redirection to be to '\\domain\shares\home\yrof14\%username%\Documents' to stop this from happening.

 

I can't however, figure out if i can do this in 1 setting / policy or if I'm going to have to set it individually for each year group, which will mean updating the policy each year too which i'd like to avoid.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

You set the path on each users account. Then set the redirection setting to "Follow users home folder" (or something worded similar to that)

Well that not just use the home folder as the my documents folder. I think that's what i have already, i wanted a new folder underneath that.

Maybe I'm just too tired.

exactly you set that for each user.

 

For example our students have \\Server\share\%username%\Documents on the home directories for each of their accounts.
