Redirecting Favorites to network drive (Documents)

[newpersn]

Is there a way i can set up redirecting on the favorites folder?

 

I can do this via GP but what settings do i need to enter to set to there homefolder

We just put in the full path for the users e.g. \\school.sch.uk\dfs\StuDocs\%username%\Documents\MyFavourites

 

Obviously can take off the end part if you want it direct in their folder

I get an error when trying to a path in.

 

"the specified target location is not valid"

 

I got it set up as a Basic Redirect everyones folder to the same location

Create a folder for each user under the root path (i'm guessing i need to enter \staff\%username%\Favorites)

Mine is set up as Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location) and the setting is %homeshare%\My Documents\Favorites

I do this in the registry. I'll find it out for you if you need it.

I do this in GPP. Setting is:

 

Favorites

Setting: Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location)

Path: %HOMESHARE%\Favorites

 

However, on our 'admin' users we have got an issue we're looking into at the moment where these redirected favorites don't work. It works on our 'curriculum' machines with out issues, but not sure why on these. I've nailed it down to a particular GPO that when applied 'borks' them, but not nailed down the exact setting as of yet. (Its a GPO we have that sets all the IE11 policies with GPP, etc).
