YOU ARE A GENIUS THANKS SO MUCH!

Does that stand for curriculum? Also thanks for your quick replys.

I will be working on this later today. Quick question. Do I need to have one of each for "staff" or "curric". Since I am only trying with one user can i just use 1 start menu and 1 desktop folder. Also If my sole purpose is to redirect my start menu do I just need the start menu one. Thanks

Also I would like to add that I am only trying this with the following SERVER 2003(AD and DC) TESTUSER TESTGROUP TEST GPO WIN7 BOX. I would think if you guys have all had success I am just missing something since I am only testing now. GRRR.

Ok sorry it took so long. I used my FQDN \\servername.domain.domain\c$\genericsubfolder\men us\win7\start Still no go. I deleted my GPO from the 03 server. And created a new one with only three definitions set. 1. folder redirection 2. disabled "force classic start menu" 3. disabled Remove Users folders from the Start Menu. Verified folder permission on for the test user. Logged in as test user. Did gpupdate/ force Still no redirected start menu Here are my questions. 1. Should I bother with RSAT? 2. Should I bother with a local GPO to help with folder redirection 3. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG! Thanks

I installed the RSAT and checked the GPO, It is set up like it should be. I did a gpupdate/ force Logged in as the test user, still no redirected start menu. By looking at my earlier post is there anything you see that I am missing?

I will try this and get back to you. Thanks

I created a test user in AD on the 03 Server. "win7user" I created a test group(03 server) "win7group" I created a Test Gpo(03 server) titled "folderredirection" it's only goal is to redirect folders. I redirected the menu to \\server\subfolder\start$\ within start$ there is a programs folder My test group(test user is in that group) has full permission for these folders. Thats what I started with. I have gone into both 03 server and created local GPO on Win 7 using MMC that disables both "Remove Users folders from the Start Menu." and "Force classic start menu" I saw somewhere that the local GPO can redirect but under mine I dont see an option. Your help is appreciated.

Ok Heres what I have done I created a user in test user in AD on the 03 Server. "win7user" I created a test group "win7group" I created a Test Gpo titled "folderredirection" it's only goal is to redirect folders. I redirected the menu to \\server\subfolder\start$\ within start$ there is a programs folder My test group(test user is in that group) has full permission for these folders. Thats what I started with. I have gone into both 03 server and created local GPO on Win 7 using MMC that disables both "Remove Users folders from the Start Menu." and "Force classic start menu" I see that you are able to redirect using win7 gpo. Whenever I access the GPO policies(MMC) on my local box under folder redirection I dont have the options you have shown. HELP! Also Thanks

I havent touched RSAt. Lol, Maybe that's my issue. Could you give me a few more details about how to utilize RSAT to accomplish the start menu redirection?

That may be where I am confused. If you dont mine I will explain what I have done. Please let me know if I am missing something. I created a user in test user in AD on the 03 Server. "win7user" I created a test group "win7group" I created a Test Gpo titled "folderredirection" it's only goal is to redirect folders. I redirected the menu to \\server\subfolder\start$\ within start$ there is a programs folder My test group(test user is in that group) has full permission for these folders. Thats what I started with. I have gone into both 03 server and created local GPO on Win 7 using MMC that disables both "Remove Users folders from the Start Menu." and "Force classic start menu" What else do I need to do. Thanks

Where is an option for what I bolded? Also Can someone clarify if the GPO settings are for the Server 03 GPO or the Win7 Gpo. Thank you all.

Is this for the server-side GPO or the local WIN 7 GPO? Also Has anyone had this working with Server 03?
